Budgeting

Write about your approach to budgeting.

Always pay your bills first. Never spend more than what you make or have. If you want something, work for it and save your money for it. You don’t have to finance everything. Strike that balance between having too much debt and too little.

Activities

Is there anything you feel too old to do anymore?

Dancing used to be one of my favorite activities. Over the years I took Latin and ballroom dance lessons for fun. At one time I took lessons at Arthur Murray, but the interest suddenly died, and I no longer wanted to dance anymore. I’m fine with that decision because I just wasn’t feeling it anymore.

Actually, no, I don’t need a break. When you love what you do, taking a break can feel detrimental.

Relationship Impact

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

Those relationships engulfed in encouragement, understanding, and opportunities for learning have the best positive impact on me. They also leave room for opportunities to have a positive impact on others. The process of receiving and passing forward. Turning someone else’s negative impact they may have received from someone else and turning it into a positive is just as heart felt.

Do Differently

What could you do differently?

It’s a hard question to answer. Even though there are many things I could/could’ve done differently, if I did or would, I would not have learned what I did. It’s a double edge sword. One has many regrets, but what is gained from those regrets can be or is a blessing at the same time. For me, in spite if where I am today, I mostly regret. In the end, I would change the fact that I left.

Future and Past

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Neither. I can’t fix the past. All I can do is learn from it. One can contemplate the future and make tentative plans for it and even dream. But, since events can and do happen outside of our control, all we can do is hope and pray about it. Thus, we can’t control the future either. We can control our present, so that’s where my mind is mostly. That and Jesus.

Nostalgia

What makes you feel nostalgic?

What makes me feel nostalgic is being together with family or witnessing a family and/or friends setting which reminds me of a time when I was younger.

Growing up, we went camping a lot. What I particularly liked about those times were the variety of scents around us such as: camp fires, pine needles, the scent of the lake blowing in on a gentle breeze….. All of these experiences, when I encounter them now, make feel nostalgic.
