The marvelous Keri Smith has been writing about money this week.

Money has been a big issue for me as long as I can remember, and is something I’ve never resolved satisfactorily. Interestingly, money and health seem very tied up together for me. In the past I’ve squandered money in the same way I’ve squandered my energy. In short I’ve not shown much respect for either.

These days I try to live within my financial and physical means, but I still don’t find it easy. I have a fond hope that if I continue to spend (and save) wisely that I’ll be able to build up a reserve in both my bank account and my body. Time will tell. There are signs that things are improving for me, but the process seems slow, and I would be lying if I didn’t admit to some impatience…
