Live Simply
I am thankful that my parents taught me early in life to live within my means. We are an average income family, my parents made sacrifices to support my two brothers and me. When I transitioned from single hood to be married in 1999, Monte (my husband) and I knew the importance of living within our means. This does not mean that we are deprived but rather we live simply. We have never needed to keep up with the Joneses. Happiness and contentment in not in what we possess materially but rather whom we belong to. We belong to the King of the universe who fills us with unspeakable joy. His hope keeps us alive and leaves us yearning for more of Him each day.

Helllo,
I totally agree with what you are saying. I think it is very important to live within your means, and not to get into debt. I have a hint on how to send birthday greetings for free, to help people living within their means! There are so many people that don't really agree with sending e-cards, I think maybe they feel that it is a lazy way to send a greeting, and are more in favor of the traditional way of buying a 'real' card, and sticking a stamp on it and popping it in the post.
However, I think this is one of those cases of 'don't knock it till you've tried it', I am a fan of electronic greetings cards. A lot of my computer wiz kid mates introduced me to e-cards, and that is how I began using them. I think when you try something new, you are recommended it by word of mouth, and that is exactly what happened to me.
I have recently been sending my friends a Happy Birthday e-Card greeting when they are at work! They just said it was a really idea and that it brightens up their day. I have tried quite a lot of e-Card sites, and I have now found a really cool Free Happy Birthday Day e-Card site that I really like. This particular site has an awesome application where you can upload a photograph of yourself and incorporate it into your card. This is such a clever idea, and adds that personal touch, and as I already mentioned this particular site is totally free. I think e-Cards are definitely worth a try, they are not for everyone, but I am becoming a fan! Just wanted to share my findings with you all. Hope you find this useful, Have a good rest of your afternoon, Peace and love, Nicole.
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for visiting my blog. I have also seen free e-card websites that you had mentioned. (The ones that allow you to upload a photograph). I am a frequent user of e-cards and they are really good. Thanks again for your comment.
