RENEWAL

Our dryer is going on the fritz, Starbucks just raised the price of my drink, cat food went up (we have 5 cats), our Homeowner dues just increased ($418.08 a month, the highest in the area), my salary was frozen this year due to a county wide budget crisis, and we are still on one income. Things are a bit tight.

BUT.......

I just renewed my USCF license and I feel a bit renewed myself.

I played little league baseball for 6 years and I remember the anticipation of being selected after try outs. the call would come at night and I would get up from bed to be told which time I was on. I get thame excitement every time I "re-up" my racing license.

Hopefully this feeling will last the year, or until finances settle down some:)
