    Thanks Shell ,

    Words of wisdom. We all made choices, some of us made bad choices....but we choose to make our things better.
    Something else I learned along the way, we have choices in everything no matter who or what are situation in life.
    I used to be depressed and hopeless, I discovered I had a choice in that also......I can wake up and decide what kind of day this will be. Will I choose to wollow in dispair or will I bounce out of bed and try to make it great?.

    Great article!
    One of the choices we made was to sell our vehicle when we bought our home. We bought in an area that is central to almost everything, and we walk or take the bus. It has saved us well over $1000/year in insurance, maintenance, and gas. In the future we might get another vehicle but for right now we decided it wasn't as important as other things.
