In the daily reading in the book "Simple Abundance, a Daybook of Comfort and Joy" for yesterday their was a quote taken from an issue of Ladies' Home Journal in October 1932.
"The return of good times is not wholly a matter of money. There is a prosperity of living which is quite as important as prosperity of the pocketbook...It is not enough to be willing to make the best of things as they are. Resignation will get us nowhere. We must build what amounts to a new country. We must revive the ideals of the founders. We must learn the new values of money. It is a time for pioneering-to creater a new security for the home and family...Where we were specialists in spending, we are becoming specialists in living."
Perhaps because I am a specialist in spending, this quote hit me hard. Even though we still have our jobs etc. It gave me something to think about.
