I'm a sucker for "how to save money" books and articles. Recently, I finished reading Money Secrets of the Amish by Lorilee Cracker and it really made me think. Not just about money, but about how I live my life. These are my Amish traits to emulate: Thriftiness, Forgiveness and Simplicity.
Those three words are the main ideas I strive for in my life. Thrifty... I do my best to be thrifty with my money and material goods. Forgiveness... Sometimes forgiveness can be so hard. It can become something I have to remind myself to do. I think one of the main words I think of alongside forgiveness is grace. I don't know why but thinking of grace makes forgiveness seem easier. Simplicity... Ha, ha, ha... I live a simple life, full of complications. I'm still working on that one :)
