Just do it!

I woke up this morning and made a decision. Life if way to short to regret things too often. While yes we all make mistakes even great big ones that seem like you can never recover from until you die. There is a small amount of hope that yes it is possible to fix those mistakes and move on before you die.

We are heading into a new year. Its a new beginning and new possibilities. Embrace it, make goal for yourself for 2014. Make a list and make the best effort to achieve those goals. But by the end of the year if you did not reach all your goals its OK. Take a look back and take note of the ones you did accomplish. And celebrate it! If its only one goal then celebrate. Because life is to short to not reward yourself for something you did that you wanted to do.

This year was a hard one for us. I had a sick mother, had a huge student loan dropped into my reality, cars breaking down, a dog died and we  need this and that and everything else.

But there are a few things that has happen too. I got a newer car that we needed, a another car was given to us that we also needed. Although they have some small issues they are not too hard to fix so that is also good. I got a full time job that I love. I never thought it would be possible but its true. Its not much but I realize I can do this until I retire. I discovered I can draw finally. This is also good. I'm excited to start an Ebay business as a second job. And I kind of like the possibility of taking the dreaded loans and taking on the challenge of working with our budget to pay those suckers off! I can do frugal really well when I want. And at a time when I was really watching our pennies I was happier then. So back to coupons, making gifts, finding free or very cheep entertainment, shopping the clearance racks like a crazy woman. There are lots of times when something new can cost as little as 1.00-5.00. lol. And I do not mean junk. Timing is everything when watching ever penny you make by the way. I"ll be looking at thrift stores in a new light now. Not for things I may need but what can I sell for a profit. I'll be learning how to create a great website too and getting it out there for everyone to see.

So as I say good by to 2013 here in a few weeks I'll be making my list and checking it twice. Doing my homework and finding out ever possible way to make my life here the best it can be with the dreaded loan knocking at my door. As with anything that is worth wile doing it will take work.
