Worry about right now. Not about what happened in the past. You can not change the past but you can change the future. Always be happy with what you have, There are always people that are worse off than you are. I always told my kids if you really want something save for it and you will be proud of yourself when you earned the money yourself and bought it yourself. Nothing is handed to you. You have to work for what you want.

I agree with you on that one. Life is full of ups and downs and you'll feel much better about yourself if you earn what you want.

More wise words Judy You really do have to learn to save when you are a child. You have to work for what you want right enough And being happy with what you have is a lot easier when you have worked hard to get it

Plus you take care on the item if you bought it yourself.

@jstory07 Exactly. I think that is because we see the true reward of our working for something so we treasure it more Judy

Is the cat breathing, lol. Now that's comfort! Yes, be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems. All good sound advice...
