Thanks so much for reminding us of the more important things.

Hopefully Frugal Dad’s mother is or at least will be doing well soon.

Add to your list: TIME.

To me time is more and more precious the older I become. Time to be with family is the most precious. Followed by Time to exercise and take care of my health. Time to tweak my finances. Time to stop and smell the roses, to be happy, to find contentment, to remember and to reflect.

I believe I am becoming even more frugal with my TIME than I am frugal with my money (which is VERY frugal). I’m Learning to say NO to things which aren’t important enough to cause the loss of time with the grandkids and kids.

Everyone’s on the same page today – this morning on my blog (wrote it a couple of days ago, but just published today): http://www.foolsandsages.com/?p=875

We really are kinda spoiled. It’s not a bad thing to turn back inward.

Connie – my parents are about an hour out of Houston, I think their power is still out too. As is my aunt’s in Ohio, they got caught in a freak wind storm from Ike hitting a front up in their area. Enjoy the quiet?

Much support to Frugal Dad as well. I hope that his mother recovers quickly, I will be thinking of them.

I’ve been thinking something along these lines myself lately. Our power is out here, thanks to Ike, and they are saying it could be two weeks before it’s back on.

We are staying with my Mom and Dad, and while it’s a bit of a strain, I am so very thankful.

There is nothing in the world that replaces family.
