Steve Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
(Native American prayer)

The party is over, Nancy. The good times are gone and they aren't coming back while you are still young enough to enjoy them. You can't spend what you ain't got. The days of excess, 100 million dollar houses, 10 million dollar birthday parties, new cars for the kids for high school graduation, second homes in the mountains and third homes at the beach, thirty thousand dollar motorcycles, all that crap is going, going, gone.
Now I don't know Jesus, but I do know he was a good person, I know he's big in South Carolina. I'm thinking that Jesus would be pleased if people got back to thinking about each other, thinking about their stewardship of the earth, respecting children and parents and grandparents, concentrated on peace and love and understanding instead of making more money to buy more things that will take them away from reality.
Money in and of itself is not good or bad. Many of us know that the more money you have the more you are tempted to forget the real reasons life is important. Look at America over the last 50 years.   Awesome post Mick And so so right. The party is over, and at the end of the day, I think we'll all be better for surviving the current events. At least I know we will be. My kids are learning valuable lessons that I hope will help them make wise decisions as they grow, and my choice to live as simply as possible has been reinforced.

Excellent, everyone! I would venture to guess, though, that for most of us on RR, we weren't a part of that party and never would have been no matter how long it might have lasted. I think we have all lived pretty simply, and it would be nice to think that some of those partiers might learn to live simply as well.
