Thankful For The Little Things
One of my favorite quotations reminds me to be thankful for the little things:
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony.
--William Henry Channing
Learning to love what you have is essential to the frugal life. This week, as we count our blessings, here are 3 great blogs which have helped me do the same.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Hi Meredith!
Seeing Frugal Hacks on my site meter got my curiosity and then seeing your name was like running across an old friend – how did I not realize you were posting here!?
Thankful for you and hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!
