Here at home I was also taught that I should only “take shelter as far as the blanket will allow”. What you say is difficult and I imagine you not only writing this, but also living this “odyssey” and I understand you. Maybe that's why you talk so happily about the trips you have made, your car, your bicycle, the things you have now, because only those who have been empty-handed know the weight of things.
It will be good, on my part, to also talk about those moments when I felt the coldness of the wall on my back and a hole under my feet, just for not having money. I'll see you around.
Ah, I hope you are well. I send you a big hug, as always.

I've never heard that saying before but it makes perfect sense. That's exactly it. When you grow up without many material things you appreciate everything all the more. My dad always taught us to take very good care of our things. He also taught us to iron our clothes and shine our shoes. He always said when he was a child even if there were holes in his shoes they would be shined. He really took pride in his appearance and always had a swagger about him. Looking forward to your entry next week! Thank you Nancy! Have a great evening.
