We were just out for a drive. My car is a ten year old Cavlier that is in good shape. No gas guzzler, which I am grateful for considering gas prices. I observed that the gas prices breaking the $4.00 mark wasn't deterring many as the roads were crowded with cars. People don't care. Oh, I guess some do, but for the most part, we are a debt society and debt doesn't seem to phase many these days. Paying for gas, with the credit card, is just the way things are. Not like in the past when people fought to save money. I don't know for certain, but I think saving is not in vogue anymore.
We are staying close to home at the present because of gas prices. Sure, we have to go certain places, but extra places are not on our agenda. And in a way, this focuses me on what I have....to appreciate what I have....right here at home. To stop wishing for things I don't have or for places that are not close by. So, there's a lesson in gas going through the roof, that is, if one chooses to see it. Contentment can be found in even a situation that is truly out of our control.
