Don’t Worry Be Happy

Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth – except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! – Ecclesiastes 5:8-9

So, how do you get it?
True happiness.
Fly first class?
Go to exotic places?
I’ve tried the second,
not the first
exactly.
Fun
while it lasts.
Sort of.
Gift giving?
Sometimes.
And sometimes I resent the gift I gave.
Life’s easier with it,
the money.
But with enough,
not with too much.

Thanks for the money.
I know it’s in trust.
So use it — and me —
as you will.
