Deep Thoughts ~ (by someone else)

So I was flipping through the latest issue of Oprah magazine (relax! I didn't buy it - I get it free along with many other magazines) and came across the article 'The Pleasure of Pinching Pennies' by Carla Power and found the following quote encouraging and very well written....

"Thrift is often dismissed as the sort of Julie Andrews of virtues: familiar and comfortable, but hardly scintillating. Not so.  Done right, diliberating how you spend has a hidden voluptuousness.  Thrift allows you to appraise the world anew.  It's about persuing life's possibilities, then homing in on the ones that make you the happiest....If you're trying to keep up with the Joneses, it's the Joneses who ultimately choose the kitchen or car you're going to buy.....the current rediscovery of what my British friends call 'mending and making do' feels more liberating that the go-go years ever did"

I personally need to be reminded of this constently....thought others may enjoy as well.

Enjoy ~
