Broke and Happy

Six days left and I did it... I got all my Christmas shopping done and I'm broke as hell. But what kind of Indian would I be if I didn't know how to be broke? It reminds me of when I first started out in this adult life and I had absolutely nothing. I learned quickly that I could live on nothing for a very long time. I didn't have a house, I didn't have a job, I didn't have a car, I didn't even have anything to pawn so I could have a few bucks in my pocket. But I had family, friends, hopes, dreams, and big ambitions. Somehow I managed to make it this far, so to be broke now is not a big thang. At least for today I have everything I need and more, and I am able to share what I have with others, which means the world to me. For that I am truly grateful.
