The Year of No

This is it!  I'm done. 

 The weight is too much to carry and the burden too great.

And so for one final year, we will say NO.

It will be a sacrifice, and it will cost us greatly.  But in the sacrifice will come freedom. 

 In the cost we will find worth.

I'll do my best to make it fun,

and to remind little ones what we having waiting...

It will not be easy, but it is needed.

In 2011 we will remove our debt.

We will say No to vacations,

to eating out,

to play dates that are not free,

to projects,

to the "extras" in the budget,

and we will

...SACRIFICE...

And in the year "No" we will "Know" freedom!
