. . . spend decades living the good life with great homes, fancy food, maids and butlers, new cars, etc. only to spend your final years in prison with virtually nothing? Or would you rather live a very modest life with no extravagances for your entire life?
The answer is easy for me. The modest life. First, I think giving up the high-life would be way too hard. The contrast of going from having everything to having nothing would be nearly impossible for me to adjust to.
Second, I am not really a person who craves a lot of extravagance in my life. Yes, a good meal once-in-a-while is nice but I don't want it every day. I get satisfaction from doing my own dishes. And I get really attached to my car! Ha!
Finally, I tend to keep my life on a fairly even keel all of the time. I don't enjoy the rollercoaster rides of life.
About Me
- Damselfly
- Gluten free for me started in September of 2009 after battling several months of digestive issues. BIG BUMMER! Especially for me because I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years AND had I to give up soy in 2007 because of digestive distress. What's a girl to eat? I started this blog for myself -- to keep track of my dining options (I can be a bit forgetful) and vent a little about my struggles. Fortunately for me, I can still enjoy soy and gluten on occasion since I am not allergic to either and am not celiac - just intolerant.
