Normalizing Can Save Dollars

 Hello to all.  Here we are again, coming upon a weekend.  It is supposed to be a lovely weekend in these parts.  This morning, I surprised to wake up hearing rain!  I really didn't think we were to get more, but we did.  After today, it looks like it will be dry for many days to come.

It is cool and gloomy this morning.  It sure doesn't look like we will have fall weather for a while.  They say the next week or two is supposed to be in 70's and 80's.  Forecast is for a warmer than normal October.  Love it!

Let's see, I have fed both kitties, fed the critters, washed my head, made the bed, and filled the seed containers.  I will soon go out for a walk.

Bitsy is in the window, watching the world go by - and Licorice is curled up on the glider on the porch napping after his breakfast.  We are all in slow mode!

Funny, I thought about going to the store to get a couple items and laid in bed last night and talked myself out of it.  I truly need nothing!  More than enough here.  Why the heck go?

Color me - ALL OF THESE!!!!!!

Goodness sakes, this is me.  I just live slow and simple and it is NORMAL for me.

I have many quality items that have been around for years and years - and they are still good.

My life is mainly around the home.

I make a lot of gifts for people.

I rest when I want.  I used to think naps were a waste of good time - not now.  I love a short catnap - it seems I actually sleep better on those days.  I find if I work hard, and no nap, I have a hard time sleeping during the night.

Porch sitting with neighbors (or alone) is a nice thing to do.

I walk a lot to get exercise - and yard work also helps with free exercise.

I have been trying to stay off the computer more.

I cook at home and enjoy the food.

I rarely pay full price for anything and love looking for a thrift bargain.

I make no debt - pay what bills I have on time.

I know how to say NO!  

I truly love the sound of 'quiet'!

None of these costs a thing.  It is normal and it is lovely.  You can save money and KEEP money in so many simple ways.  

I truly advise everyone to make these things normal in your life.  You really won't be sorry.

There is much to be said about peace and tranquility.

YEP!

That is a good reason why decluttering is a good idea.  The less 'stuff' you have the less 'stuff' you have to take care of and clean.  Sure, it is work to get to that point - but go slow and stay steady and you will get it done.

Appreciate the fact that sitting and watching and listening to nature, or reading a book, or talking with family or neighbors, or working around the yard is far better than fighting the crowds at a mall or on the road.

Slow and steady really does WIN!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend just chilling and enjoying the season.

Have a superbly wonderful day!
