I love living here. I have despised winter my entire life and this milder climate is more my speed. It does wonders for my mood and motivation! However, our income dropped by 2/3, so we have scaled wayyy back. No cable, internet, movies, dining out, shopping, etc. etc...anything that costs money.
It is humbling and has strengthened my faith in immeasurable ways. I do, however, feel extremely disconnected from the real world. Once in a great while I can get an internet connection from the neighbor, if I'm sitting on our bed with the laptop. I mostly feel guilty for doing that, so I should keep this short!
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the important things in life! I miss keeping up with all of you and look forward to being able to do so regularly when finances afford such luxuries!
