TGIF…and P!

Today I’m not only thankful it’s Friday (yeah, I know, I only managed to work a half day all week!), but it’s also payday! Woohoo! After what seems like a loooong drought without a paycheck, finally, the day has arrived. Seems like not a minute too soon, as I was slipping precariously into the red zone this week. Money has always been a stress point for me; I never have enough, or I can’t hang onto it when I do. Somehow, I always seem to hang in there, to just barely get by. I don’t want to be living this way forever. The great thing about today was that my check was bigger than I thought it would be (had some extra stipends and things that I’d forgotten about), and it came a few days early, due to the weekend…and it’s a long weekend at that!I need to be thankful not only for the fact that I got paid today, and can now pay bills and buy groceries and gas and keep a roof over my head…but I need to remember that there are a lot of folks out there who can’t do that, and who are living a much more meager existence than I. It could always be much worse…and while I’d love for it to be much better, I can’t forget to be grateful for the things that I do have.
