Excellent reminder: even the poorest of us fare better than most in other countries. We're not perfect but we're not bad. My mantra these days is, "it's not having what you want, it's wanting what you got." --Sheryl Crow (musician) Yep! Excellent reminder: even the poorest of us fare better than most in other countries.

As often as possible, usually a few times a week I take a couple of minutes and make myself sit down quietly and write out at least three things I'm grateful for. Taking the time to write those things out does something; it slows me down enough to really assess; to see all that I already have; all that is already going well in my life. Compared to other places in the world, our quality of life is so much better here in the US and we have so many more opportunities. I'm thankful for that!

I've never been after wealth for the toys, but for the enabling power it has to give us time freedom. -limeade http://fiscalmusings.blogspot.com I love the subject and actually wrote a quick post about it the other day (living is giving).
