the green

Everybody wants it. Everybody needs some of it. Nobody ever has enough. Nobody likes to talk about it.

It's frustrating when you try hard to be content and to live simply and inexpensively and there's still not enough of it.

Times were tight and look to be getting tighter for everybody.

It's frustrating when everything else in life seems like it's doing well: personally, socially, emotionally, spiritually, productively, professionally....but professionally doesn't necessarily indicate financially. There, unfortunately, is the rub. And I hate it.
