Brian and I are snuggling and chatting about $$ which is tight right now. It might have been stressful but then he said “It’s not bad being poor when I have you!” Which is how I feel too. Last year I got a diamond ring for Christmas. This year we are not exchanging presents, but we are still so happy. It’s easy to be happy when you’ve got “enough”. It’s just sometimes you have to learn what “Enough” is. It’s taken me some time to figure it out. I still tend to internalize things, stew on them… You’d think after three years as a team I’d know to take my worries to Brian but I forget! I spent so long doing it myself that I forget I don’t have to. I always feel better after we talk.
We are good.
We are healthy.
We have food.
We can pay our mortgage.
We are together, a family.
It’s hard but we can do it, hell, I even have a gym membership! (Although having the contract sucks…) We have so much more than we need, really. I am grateful.
