We decided to take a quick trip to Idaho this weekend for a Christmas Party. I pulled up to my sisters house and see a Ford windstar van that belongs to my younger brother. He decided to sell his newer car and buy an older vehicle because his needs have changed not his wants. He figured out that if he sold his car today he would get 2000 dollars more than if he sold it 2 years from now. He now is prepared for the future has no car payments and 2000 dollars in the bank oh and did I mention he already has a rental property. This is all because he knows he wants something bigger than what the present can offer him. He wants something bigger than a new truck or a new ATV on a loan. I couldn't be prouder of him I wish I had more people like him around me more often.
I was driving home today from a fun overnight trip at my family and I realized I was happy. I had my family with me my van was running really well. I wasn't in any rush to get home. I was just enjoying the drive.
I've had a rough week this week. I don't know what it was but I was really depressd this week. I would come home and dread going back to work. Little by little I found happiness through little things. By the end of the week I was excited that some of my goals are becoming reality. I will soon be having my car paid off. Credit cards will soon follow. I am having my second Christmas in a row where I feel guilty about my Christmas gifts being so expensive yet they're still under a hundred dollars. Yes life is getting better. Not good enough for me to shut down this blog but better. I still have alot of tips and rants but for tonight I'm going to reflect on my happiness and hold onto it.
