Today I start my Blog. I have been blessed with so much info and encouragement from the other blogs, I had to jump right in and join! I am newly divorced after 18 years of marraige and learning to start my life all over again. It is not where I wanted to be but where my ex----- wanted to be. Isn't that how life can be sometimes...not in our control? With money- I find that there are MANY areas we CAN control. Most of my friends hate that....they would rather pretend words like budget and saving do not exist.
I love challenges, so in all things money related I have been challenged. Basically when my ex left he told me to handle all the bills and such...something I am embarrased to say I never once did. So I had to learn quickly, I had no choice in the matter.
Today I have to pay a handy man to re-attatch my gutter my son broke due to his soccer ball and his powerful kick. I would try to fix it but alas I do not own a ladder that would reach that high.
I have learned to be handy as of late.
Investing in basic tools and using the internet you can fix many things without calling the handyman. Hopefully my son will not aim for the gutter again. I can only hope!
This week I hit the thrift store and found a darling purse for $5, a LL Bean jkt for $4 and some tupperware for $6.
All items in perfect shape!
A new adventure

Truly I am getting used to flying solo so to speak and frankly I am not looking at getting re-married as a goal.....just so happy to be with my children for now......and way way in the far future perhaps a grandma! I am learning to be content in ALL things. Each day is a new gift waiting to unfold.
