It is a struggle to find the balance between always doing the responsible boring thing and never feeling the reward of all your hard work and diligence. You can't delay gratification forever. The key is to find joy and fun where it makes sense in your budget and doesn't derail your goals. It is also important to find joy and fun in things that don't cost a lot. Free community events. Your local library. Packing a picnic on a gorgeous spring day and visiting a public spot with flowers blooming. Spending time with friends.
A major struggle, Christina. But I believe I'm being responsible to myself and to Parker, and I believe that faithfulness will pay off. I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
