As exciting as the holidays are, I'm excited that they are almost over. I'm no Scrooge, just ready to settle down into things. Lately I've been feeling down (I blame ads and marketing) about not being able to "keep up with the Joneses", the Joneses being people beaucoup money and not a visible care in the world. I am very frugal, when I have money to spend, it's gotta be wrenched from my little fingers. Sometimes, though, I get to thinking my blog isn't as recognized as it could be because I don't have a $200 dress in my closet or a $500 pair of shoes on my feet. Silly thoughts, I know, but they flitter in my mind until I remind myself of quotes like the one above. Even if I got those things, I really wouldn't be that much happier. And in reality I am happy and lucky with everything I have, and that sense of ground is what I am most thankful for.
