Too purty to live in town.....

10/26/07

Yesterday was so sweet at my home. I wasn't able to get Joe many things, so I made sure I got him a few things that he had repeatedly mentioned that he wanted. He was very happy.

I had planned to take Joe to see The Chimpmonks movie and told Joe what time we'd have to leave to get to town to see the movie, and Joe said, "Mom, you did so much for me for Christmas, why don't we just stay home? I don't want you to spend your money on a movie for me." I hugged him and with tears in my eyes, told him that it was his choice if he wanted to go see a movie or not. He said he just wanted to stay home and be together. So that's what we did.

I also got to talk with a few people I love dearly on the phone, friends and family too. All in all, it was a wonderful day. No, it wasn't the "best Christmas ever", and yes, it was very frugal, but it was filled with love, laughter and contentedness, and that, my friends, makes me very rich in heart. I can only hope that all who read this will have experienced the same richness that no amount of money could every buy.

Thanks for coming by,
