Keeping it in perspective

Yesterday someone shared this saying with me and it rang so true I wanted to share it with you.

"You can't always have the things you love, but you should always love the things you have."

For me it means that I can't have the city life I love but I certainly can love the life have with my family in our beautiful new house.

Some of you may have wondered how living in the burbs has changed me over the last two years.... today I received confirmation that two of my key traits are intact. 1. I have no sense of direction what so ever. Hubby who's been at my side for 20 years can give you plenty of stories to back that up. Let me share my morning drive.

About 8 minutes into the drive it was clear that the road I was on, I95, was badly congested and not showing any signs of improvement.

After following my "internal compass "AND the car GPS I not only made no progress, I actually went the wrong way and ended up BACK in Stamford!!!! Yeap! thought I was going North but I was totally heading South. 2. I can't stick to a budget! Now don't get me wrong it's not that I don't want to stick to a budget, it...
