Again, not having anything truly savings oriented occurring today, I thought I’d write about a general frugal moment that I like to relive when I can. By when I can, I mean either the kiddos will allow it or the weather cooperates.
I like to relax, like many full-time working folks do, but I don’t like to spend money to do so. No day spas for me; I can’t let go of the fact that I’m spending money on something like that, so I can’t relax, which defeats the entire purpose of the appointment. So, to let go of some stress, I like to get up before the rest of the house, make some coffee, grab a book, and head to my porch. I like the morning because I like to see the sun rise and make its way over the trees in the backyard and see the first planes of the day fly over my house. This is where the abovementioned weather comment came from – I can only do this for part of the year since I live in New England and have snow and rain to contend with. When I can’t get outside, I like to sit in a little corner seat in the playroom. Something about the mess of toys is oddly comforting, and it’s next to a window which is important to me. Wherever your favorite place is in your home, making it a priority to spend some time there is a good way to regain some sanity at no cost.
PS: If you read as much as I do, remember to use your public library!! Other than the coffee brewed for my (rare) solitary moments, that keeps my relaxation time free.
