What a difference a day makes. Now who ever said that? Today has started out just like yesterday and the day before that and quite a few before those. A day older and deeper in debt could make the days a little different but that is the same everyday too.
A very limited income makes for a pretty hard way to get along. The only good thing about being old is the Social Security check every month. It's a good thing they send it direct to the bank because it isn't large enough to stand in line for. I don't mean to complain! It does help us a whole bunch. Every little bit counts.
I've learned over the years that when you get a little, enjoy it to the fullest, because it might be some time before any comes around again. That also works with money.
According to Benjamin Franklin we can still be happy and might even be happier because we get so very little. He said, "Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way." This quote is another that we'll never be able to disprove so we just accept it and continue worrying on down the road of our lives, hoping that the price for crushed aluminum cans increases before we get another bag ready to sell.
Worry is just about one of the most senseless things that a person can do. I believe in thinking about things but it has got to be in a realistic manner and with an accepting attitude. When you think about it adding negative thoughts, it is called worry. What the hell am I talking about? I'm beginning to worry me!
