Now internet shopping, that is a different matter. Easy access to all sorts of books and music and books and DVDs and books, and did I mention books? Now that can be a challenge! God bless, and have a wonderful Easter! Sharon,

I avoid the mall as much as I can. I am contented with what I have until I see all that stuff and wonder if perhaps my life would be easier/better with something or other. When we lived in Germany, the only place I could shop was the local PX. Buying jeans was simple. There would be one rack with one or two styles of jeans in my size. I'd buy one. When we returned to the States and I first went to a mall again to buy jeans, the sheer number of stores and choices hurt my head. I went home without any! The other big incentive for me to not spend unnecessary money -- reminding myself that, compared to most people in the world today -- I already have far more than I need. It's all perspective!
