Thrifty Things Lately #157

 


Hello everyone, I do hope you're having a refreshing holiday season. I pray God will bless your new year with good health and that you will seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. I hope to get back to writing regularly after the new year. Recovery has kept me occupied lately. ~smile~ I'm blessed to improve daily. 

Well, on to some thrifty things lately. It's a short list, because I haven't felt up to much for the last few weeks. Every bit counts though!

  • Staying home saves money! Other than the doctor and hospital visits, I've been homebound for most of the month.
  • Having insurance saves money. I've run up many thousands in doctor and hospital and lab charges since I became sick at the beginning of November.
  • Four of my dear friends brought us meals. Thank you Beth, Joyce, Heather and Tiffany!
  • We went to a viewing of It's a Wonderful Life at the historic Coleman Theater in Miami, Oklahoma. Tickets were just $5 each.
  • I received The Dress Shop on King Street by Ashley Clark for review.
  • I am studying Spanish for free with the Duolingo app.

Enjoy now—it's what life's made of.

  1. Yes, staying home does save money.
    Your new book has a title that interests me.
    I have been doing a lot of my shopping by internet but with the mail backup problem, I don’t want to order anything and have it in limbo indefinitely. So I guess that will be saving me money too 😊
    I hope you are feeling better

  5. QUERIDA HERMANA: ORO AL SEÑOR PARA QUE PRONTO ESTES BIEN Y MEJOR DE SALUD, LA VIDA ES DIFICIL A VECES, PERO DIOS NO TE DARA MAS DE LO QUE PUEDAS SOPORTAR. ¿ASI QUE ESTAS APRENDIENDO ESPAÑOL? QUE BUENO Y ME ALEGRO POR TI, SI NECESITAS AYUDA, YA SABES, SOLO ME PREGUNTAS Y TE AYUDARE CON MUCHO GUSTO. BENDICIONES Y QUE DIOS TE SIGA FORTALECIENDO DIA A DIA.
