So Much Life!

So much has happened since I was last able to post. We emerged out of unemployment, but have yet to get our first paycheck. Aaron is filled with spending dreams after many months of saying "no" to ourselves. Dave Ramsey is keeping us in check. I reserve my generous nature, in secret anticipation that we may yet be in our predicament again.
I think I have always been a saver. I bought candy with all my allowance at times, like the next kid, but over all I have always felt the need to collect my money for something truly deserving. I love to be generous to friends in need or projects I resonate with, my generosity is in fact only matched by my stinginess at perceived waste of resource.
I hoped a bit, in our season of preparing to move, for new adventure--however trying. I am almost at peace again to stay completely. The casualties of the mad packing rush bear testament to my fervor. A return address stamp ($18), a set of rechargeable batteries ($6) and a Thomas DVD ($15). I do apologize for this--waste in its own right. The latter two were inadvertently sold with a $1 DVD player at our garage sale. AHHH! Could be worse, but not for a four year old. Who occasionally remembers with fresh intensity of tears.
My hope is certainly renewed, and I am thankful, each day is filled with so much life: choices, difficulties and at the very least at the end of the day sweet repose! What more could I ask for? Yea-even the chance at a new tomorrow.
