I am quite hardened to the job I do. I have seen things that some can only imagine in a nightmare. However I did have a lump in my throat on New Years Eve when we were called out to recover the body of someone who had fallen in the river and perished. He was out walking his dog when the tragedy happened. His dog stayed beside the river bank with his master all night, until the police found him! So Sad.
We let off a couple of Chinese Lanterns on New Years Eve. Extremely therapeutic and if combined with a wish, hopeful as well.
A cautionary tale of under spending.
A notorious old miser was laying on his death bed. he called for his housekeeper and told her to collect all his cash put it all in pillowcases and place them in the loft. Puzzled the housekeeper asks why. Well, said the Miser, when I die and float up to heaven I can collect the pillowcases on the way and take them with me.
That night the Miser passed away.
The next morning the Housekeeper goes up to the attic and lo and behold the pillowcases are still there.
He should have put them in the Cellar, she thought!!!!!!
So the moral is....spend it.
Happy New Year
