Day 14: Joy in a full tank of gas

Yes, today was payday.  Finally we had money back in the bank and I was able to fill up the minivan with gas again!!!  After making it through the first week of summer vacation with only $20, we did it.  It wasn't easy or fun, but it happened to be our reality for a week.  I can't tell you how good it felt to be able to drive out of town for the first time all week, run errands, buy groceries again.  It was a wonderful feeling of joy, that if I hadn't went through this past week, I would have otherwise taken for granted.  It's amazing the little things you take for granted.  Hopefully I won't in the future!
