ReplyDeletesome days i rue the fact that we don't own our own home - and we can't really even buy our own home. but then i look at this list, and i see that we do so much of it and i think, 'yep, life's good'. we could probably save the money we donate each month to various charities, but i like the fact that i am giving to someone who has less than me....
ReplyDeletethanks for a lovely post, and for reminding me of the important things in life.
