Commentary: Don't confuse money with happiness
By Peter Bregman
(an excerpt)

"And when we wake up in the morning we are left with the question, "Now what?"

It's actually a great question, because in a situation in which we've lost control, it gives us a little back. "Now what?" means we have a choice, in this moment, to do something. What's it going to be?

I think it's a mistake to try to rebuild what we've lost. We have less now and I think we can do better with less. Having less forces choices. And consciously making those choices can bring us closer to the things we care about. Which can make a poorer life richer than a rich one."

My life is about to change. Tommy's job is giving me the opportunity to stay home with the girls in just ten days. We will cut back on things to make it work. I would never call us poor, I just appreciate this writer and his article on cnn.com about a subject that many people are learning.
Does our money define us, and how much does it really give us?
I am more than happy to find a way to cut corners to be with my girls. Happy day!
