Hello,
In terms of importance, this is low on
the scale, but I still wonder how did it happen? We missed paying a bill for
our new internet provider.
Leroy and I both thought we had signed
up for automatic payments so we ignored last month’s bill. Well, the company
did not ignore such bill and charged us a late fee as well as this month’s fee.
I was going to throw myself on their mercy, but it became difficult to figure
out how to talk to a live person. The bill is paid because I could do that over
the phone with a “caring” voice that gave me precise instructions to accomplish
this task. When Leroy comes home I will see if between the two of us we can set
up automatic payments. I thought we had set up an online account but it seems
not, again a question for Leroy.
Our excuses are that we were
overwhelmed by the pandemic, derecho, and Leroy’s illness. Until now, I would
not have believed that all of those externals could affect our lives and
thinking process. Certainly our priorities have changed. Is that for the
better?
I am grateful that we are healthy, our
house is warm and dry, our cars work, our technology works, we can connect with
others, and we have the money to pay this bill without care and concern about
where to find the money.
We have more than we need in many areas
of our lives. Blessed indeed!
I just moved summer and winter clothes
in my closet and dresser, makes me realize I have too much. That includes areas
too numerous to mention. How to contribute less waste to the world when I am
awash in excess?
Paula
