I always appreciate the start of a new month. I manage our family finances and since Matt gets paid once a month, I try to manage our budget on a monthly basis. On the last day of the month, I'm grateful that we had enough to pay that month's expenses. On the first day of the month like today, I'm thankful for the clean slate and the sense of "abundance" in our cash flow. We've lived on one income for seven and half years now, and though some times have been leaner than others, I'm grateful that we have everything we need.
