Things Money Can't Buy

1.  Kisses and Hugs.
2.  A good story, well-written.
3.  A fire.
4.  Adventure.
5.  Love.
6.  Happiness.
7.  Memories.
8.  Emotion.
9.  Humanity.
10.  Life-changes.

I know that, in literal terms, you can buy things to make the above happen.  For example you could buy something that would make you happy, like a box of chocolates.  But you've only bought the chocolates, you can't buy the happiness.  Considering my lack of cash at the moment, I thought it would be apt. to make a list like this, something to remind myself of what life is about when I do have money again.

I can't believe that Woolworth's has gone under.  30,000 jobs.  BT has axed 30,000 too.  The credit crunch is really beginning to show.  At first we seemed to be in a sort of grey area of time where we knew there was a credit crunch, but the effects of it didn't really know much.  And now it all seems to be happening at once.  I find myself strangely worried for those others who are unemployed.  Most of them will have homes and families to keep.  And 'Jobseeker's Allowance', as the dole is now called, really doesn't pay out that much, but even so - where is the government going to get the money from?  It's times like this I'm kind of grateful that I live at home, even though my family drive me a bit crazy at the best of times.  I'm looking forward to college but I'm seriously starting to wonder how on earth I am going to feed myself if I don't get a job down there.  I'm trying to get a job at a supermarket so that I can be transferred when I move.  Not much luck yet though.  Still, I have plenty in my life to make me happy anyway.  My boyfriend (we've made up ^^) and friends, good books, ambitions, hope.  "All you need is love..."  <3

Sorry I don't believe in "conventional" Christianity either, just feeling a bit down I guess, but thanks for your concern. But here is my email if anything stephanie-sousa@hotmail.com
