I think there are very few people who can afford absolutely everything they want. As we make more money, we want more expensive and more extravagant things. I think there’s something to be said for someone who appreciates (I mean REALLY appreciates) the smaller things in life … it gives us time to understand that some of the best things in life do not come with a price tag.

You really are a stickler for your pens! I don’t blame you one bit though.

Loved the post and could relate to a lot of it because I also teach. While I took a huge paycut when I switched careers from Certified Public Accountant to teacher, I am blessed beyond measure. Material things don’t last but the difference we make in a child’s life is a much greater treasure.

Funny. I was just talking to a friend about how deciding to be a teacher has led me to accept a life full of mediocrity (at least materialistically speaking, anyway).

At my last job, I was in charge of ordering the ENTIRE school’s supplies when we were handed our budgets. My second year in, I ordered roughly 50 legal pads. Yes. I love me some legal pads and School Specialty was running a sweet deal, so my boss looked at me like I was crazy. But legal pads are a necessity in my life!
