When lightening strikes?

Yesterday, we had a terrible storm pass through the city and my dear friend {and neighbor} had her house struck by lighting. As smoke started to come into the house, she had only a few minutes to get her, her husband and the dogs out along with a few precious items.

Which made me think – what would I take?

With this debt snowball, I realize more and more how stupid I was placing personal fulfillment on shopping rather than strengthening my relationships with others. Now that I’m paying more and more of it off there is less stuff that I really want. Don’t get me wrong, I still like to shop but I’m placing more value of time with people than every before.
