Walking into the laundry this morning I had to smile at how much hubby has changed over the last year. There in the rag container was an old pair of hubby’s shorts that had basically fallen apart – before heading off to work this morning he had carefully placed his dead shorts into the rag bucket for reuse. He is out working today on a Saturday – he has been working very hard to build up his client base to improve our income. Hubby has branched out to maintenance work rather than just ‘builder’ to capture more work – he even mowed a lawn for someone last week, a task that is worse in his eyes than cleaning the toilet. Last week he de-cluttered our garage so that we can now drive into the garage for the first time in two years – no more frosty morning worries plus our van will last longer housed in a garage. Hubby has become such a big convert to free-range bacon that he came home yesterday and told me that he tried to get one of his clients to change to free range! He still is a terrible spender but change in people is about small steps. Lots of people think that somewhere out there is this amazing hint/piece of information that is going to change their lives and they hungrily keep looking. I think 20% of improving your life is about knowledge and 80% is being prepared to put in the effort to use that knowledge in order to change the situation you are presently in. Hubby is starting to appreciate the importance of that effort.
