Paid bills today. Always a relief until I realize that all the money is already gone and there are still more bills to deal with. This is a water bill month, which is always distressing, but on the other hand it's a water bill month in which I got a little money for reiki so even though there's not quite enough for the water bill, it's not due until next month and I have a portion of it available already. Could be worse. Also began exploring something I would not have thought of before. Maybe merging my line of credit and my mortgage to lower my monthly expenses. If I can do it, it would save me $80 or more every month. The mortgage interest would go up slightly, but the line of credit would go way down. Right now I have a little bit more debt than they think would work for me to qualify, but maybe in a year or so I will be able to do it. Or not. I'm not 100% sure it's a good idea, so I'm OK with not being able to do it right now. If it is meant to be, it will work out. It's interesting to me that my neighbor told me she was going to put me in touch with a woman who does budget and nutrition counseling through Delaware Opportunities. I may ask her what she thinks about the idea.
Hard to believe that in 32 days, I will be 65. In some ways I feel about 185, but in other ways, my emotional age ranges between 3, 6 and 24... or something like that. Age is such a strange thing. Not at all what we are taught to expect.
Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an search for my inner rich girl and an effort to let myself speak and acknowledge some of my hopes and dreams as well as an effort to encourage the Creative Forces to shower me with love and bounty.)
