While I was hanging out the washing this morning I got a nice surprise as a $2 coin fell out of a pocket and onto the ground.  As I bent down to pick it up my mind flashed back to the time my husband an I had to find all the coins we had in order to buy bread.  And the time we were at the shops and we only had $4.50 between two accounts so via eftpos one of us bought bread and the other bought cheese so that we could have lunch.  There were times when I had to borrow money to buy baby formula but look at me now – $2 fell out of my pocket!!!  We don’t own our house and we are living on a single income but we are doing well.  Back when my first child was young and my husband was a uni student we would have loved to have $2 spare.  I think what I’m trying to say is that it’s important to remember where you have come from in order to see just how blessed you are.
