7. I am thankful to have food in my cabinets. It may not always be food that I am in the mood for, but I have never gone hungry. God always provides.
I remember after James and I had been married just a couple of months and I had not yet found a job, money was tight. We typically had the $1 Totino's pizzas, cereal, and mac & cheese in the house. One time I made some plain buttered spaghetti noodles because we didn't have 69 cents to get a can of sauce. The next day I cleverly put some salsa on top, it was decent. Although I haven't had any sense that day. I'm surprised that I look back fondly on those days of being broke. I don't miss the stress, or the fights, or the wondering what bills are going to get paid this month. I guess I just look back and see that I have made it. No I'm not big hot shot and yes I still am an entry level employee. I don't really mind it though. I don't want to think about what others think of me. I am content. I have somewhat learned how to manage money. I still don't really know what savings is exactly, but the bills are definitely all paid on time and some are overpaid :)
