Sad:

Dental appointments...

The cost of good medical care...

Diabeties.

Happy:

When my son calls from Iraq... I am so grateful to hear his voice.

Two more grandchildren due this year.

Sewing.

Cooking.

Knitting.

Coffee.

Still being able to afford cigarettes...

Being able to pay my bills...

Being good at being a "house mouse"...

Outraged

Not yet having won a mega millions lottery...

As I see it, I don't have serious problems money won't solve...
I just don't have enough money to solve my problems...
Therefore... I don't really have any problems...
I just don't have enough money!


So, basically I am feeling rather lucky...financially poor, but still lucky.
