I am
not very frugal with time.
I have the luxury of lots of time, as I do not now earn any income and have sufficient income through my husband. This means I can do things the slow way: Garden with no power equipment and no chemicals. Walk to the store a couple times a week. Help out friends spontaneously when they are in a jam partly because of their own lack of time. Do things like start a pot of beans to soak in the morning, then be here to turn on the gas to cook them just the right amount of time to be ready for supper. Read for hours in a day if I want. Research ethical investment possibilities. Without planning ahead, accept the invitation for supper with a friend in whose garden I have worked one afternoon. Strike up a conversation with the woman also looking through the books for sale at the dollar store. Grate up the motel soap bars that were in the bathroom drawer to use them ore easily for washing laundry. Paint the exterior trim on the house rather than hiring it out. Meticulously attend my amaryllis collection. Stop and smell the roses--not just once in a while like some sort of wake up call, but every day, multiple times a day. I am very, very, very blessed to have so much time. I am waiting for my DH to have so much as well.
