Am I Frugal or Fanatic: Seeking Balance

[Liss]

I am , have been and probably will always be what I am. Seeking the
cheaper, not the most popular. Prefer the old fashioned way over the
easier way.

Yes I need to save money and budget!!! But is it just the
money? Is it not also holding onto something , some time that was
simpler, more honest, more
true?
I look for all the ways that save money and help my family adjust
to simpler living.

Great food. Even snack foods, from clone recipes
that are harvested from the ground. Starting with the seeds we
planted.

(Enough About that) So after I wash dishes by hand, use
homemade sanitary napkins, cook from scratch. Avoid any and all
disposables. Dry loads of clothes on a wood clothes dryer over the
register.

after all this! a dear , loving relative comes to me with
a load of dixie cups, paper towels, plastic plates, and of all things
a gal. of dial softsoap.

now i am appreciative. i
hope!!
but how do i feel? betrayed, foolish, confused.

i really do not
know how to feel . but some how i feel as if much of my hard work was
just flushed. am i ignorant??

i must be! yet i can’t help the way i
feel. i will continue!!

forgive my venting. i would love to hear from
others, be honest!
i will lighten up, i promise. i will get over it and get on with
it.

i hope with balance!! kim
