Thankful

There are so many things to be thankful for! It has been a wonderful weekend of reflection and appreciation. In life it is easy to get wrapped up in what you don’t have or keeping up with the ‘Joneses’ so it was great to have some time together and time to think of all of our many blessings. We have our health and more than that we have energy and wellness – we are grateful for that. We have each other and we had time this weekend to play, catch up, hang out and generally enjoy each other. We have our families who love us, support us and are fun to be with. I (Sheila) have not seen my family as much as I would like lately, so this weekend it was great to see most of the ‘Haines’ clan. I loved playing Euchre with my Mom, Brother and Nephew. I also loved playing a killer game of ‘Spoons’ with the gang. We are grateful to have our work that is fulfilling.

Of course we are grateful to have Project Money in our lives this year. We feel such relief to have less stress about money. We have a better relationship because we are on the same page when it comes to finances and we are getting our feet under us once again. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow and work towards a mutual goal as a team.

A little update while we are going into the holiday season. We have never had money set aside for the Holidays. This year, with the help of our coach, we thought ahead and set aside money to spend! That is an amazing feeling.  Now, we need to keep within that budget!  We plan on keeping track of our Holiday fund, keeping receipts and checking in with who spends what. Even though the amount is tight it is much better than flying blind and going into debt. Wish us luck!
