~*~

Fall not in arrears;
Pay thy way as ye goeth.
~ Live within thy means ~
Joy lies in the ownership
Of that which ye can afford.

More wisdom in the form of a tanka.
Quite talented, you are...and this is so right... the way we should live!
Though don't know many who do..it still can be a goal...

enjoyed this wonderful reminder...

hugs and happy Easter, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

(big hugggssssss) Oh Linda, you are so right, dearest friend, I only wish the rest of the world can appreciate this truth and we can abandon this false sense of ownership and capital! (sad sigh) This is wonderfully said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery.

Dear Pat ~

I know exactly what you mean! I keep slipping in and out of my own!--"means" that is!

Happy Easter to you as well!

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

Noah ~

It is unfortunate, but there are also those who live beyond their means, for the simple reason that they just don't have any. The impoverished struggle to put food on the table for their loved ones, and go well beyond their means merely to survive. My compassion knows no bounds for the less fortunate.

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

A few years back, due to extenuating circumstances, I slipped into charge card hell. I now swear before you, with the earnestness of Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, and with God as my witness, I will never allow myself to spend beyond my means again! Debt kills! I would rather go without than have bills hanging over my "halo"! Angel's honor! LOL

~ May you know prosperity and financial abundance...

Lovin' hugs,
EA

BC ~

Those words of wisdom came from someone who learned a valuable lesson herself!

Thank you, sweet friend,
Linda
