There are plentiful lessons from both. And yes, I do like embracing my will to survive and thrive. B.

I remember my mom clipping coupons, shopping carefully and managing to feed our entire family from one can of tuna - she was inventive and resourceful, much like you. I feel kind of sorry for the people who DON'T get to experience this necessary frugality because they never understand that they CAN do without. That knowledge is what stands between the people who make it and those who don't when times are bad. I've been there. You're there now. I hope my son goes there as well because there is nothing more precious than knowing that no matter what happens, you can take care of yourself and yours. Proud of you! And wishing you more plentiful times ahead.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.com
