Lets Catch Up!

The most magical thing happened to me this week, but before I get into all that let me take you to the beginning. It was like any other Monday except that morning my introvert mother asked me if I wanted to spend time with her later that day. Knowing my mother I was hesitant, hanging out to her usually meant cleaning something so I inquired a little farther, I should have inquired a lot farther, but that will unfold later in the day. So after agreeing to this mysterious hangout my day was pretty insignificant. Later that night after work we, and I purposely put this in quotation marks, "Hung out"! Do you wanna know what kind of hanging out we did...we created our budgets for January. I know I know, creating a budget is great and a smart idea, but come on people, who equates hanging out with creating budgets? Not me. Ok I can't act like I'm completely disappointed that I'd been somewhat tricked, because I knew exactly where my money was going, from when and from out of what paycheck. See I told you I was a changed woman, ok, yeah I needed a little push, but I did it and that's what I'm taking from it. Alright now fast forward to Tuesday, can you say STIMULUS CHECK?! Stimulus Check! Now lets not get too excited, that check was included in my budget and it's pretty much gone. I had everything set up to be paid, cash in hand, come to find that after paying certain bills is when the magic happened. Have you heard the saying "See a penny pick it up, then all day you'll have good luck". Well I thought I was getting blessed with a truck load of luck because I found not just a penny but many and dimes, nickels and a quarter, oh was I so wrong. The magic in my day came from $120 disappearing into thin air. Yes I was wearing my contacts, but even if I had my glasses on I still would not have seen how $120 could possibly pull a Houdini and POOF, just be gone. Why is it that one of my many bills couldn't have magically disappeared? I guess luck just wasn't on my side that day. Will I let this keep me down or continue to think on this? No sir! Like Scarlett said in Gone With The Wind, "I'll think about that tomorrow, Tomorrow is another day!" I will not hold the rest of the Tuesdays of this year to the low bar set by yesterday. Annie said it best, "The sun will come out tomorrow." So tomorrow is where you'll find me, just $120 broker than the day before, but I'm thankful that's all I lost that day. It could have been worst, I could have lost $150.
