Wisdom Brings Success

I am so excited about shopping this year.  I have decided to buy all my gifts online, and have them sent to me.  I can’t believe that it’s the 6th of December and I’ve already gotten some of the shopping done!  You must understand, that this is part of the wisdom that I have been gaining.  I actually realize that shopping on line would be easier, more convenient and ultimate cost me less money!  You know, none of that impulse buying.  I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but every time I’m out looking for something specific, I see something else that I’ve been looking for forever and never knew that anyone made, but now that I’ve seen it, I just have to buy it because I might not ever see it again, and if I did, perchance, see it again, I might not have the money that I do at this moment, or it might be the wrong color or size or whatever…so I’d better go ahead and buy it while I can.  So I do, and then I realize that I don’t have the money the buy the “thing” I went out for in the first place.  Please, tell me that I’m not the only one that does this.  I should say used to do!  As I said previously, I have been trying very hard to use the wisdom I’m gaining on a daily basis…and that’s the reason that I am shopping on line this year.  How much more convenient could it get.  You can sit in your home and find exactly, and I mean exactly, what you’re looking for. Then you can compare prices for it from all over the country, all over the world for that matter.  I can also look for the best deal out there (lots of free shipping this time of year) and pay for it, without standing in long lines, juggling my rather large, usually very heavy purse and everything else that I’m usually stuck carrying.  I say stuck carrying, because rarely am I able to sneak out of the house without my teenage daughter catching me and making me feel guilty for not asking her to go with.  So, I do bring her shopping with me and end up carrying her things, because if she carried them, it would be embarrassing!  Not only do I get stuck carrying her things in my already heavy purse, but I also know that she will end up finding something that she’s been been looking for forever and never knew that anyone made , but now that she’s seen it, she just has to have it, because she might not ever see it again, and if she did, perchance, see it again, I might not have the money that I do at this moment, or it might be the wrong color or size or whatever…so I’d better go ahead and buy it for her while we have the chance, etc, etc.  Did I mention that my daughter favors me?  Who says Karma doesn’t exist?  I have 3 kids!!!  But that’s another story…
