For me, summertime has always been synonymous with the joy of baseball. However, this summer was tempered somewhat by the heavy burden of soaring gas prices.
One weekend, as I ran my routine errands, the importance of managing my resources came clearly into focus. I made a few stops – first to my usual pharmacy for a prescription, then to the dry cleaners, followed by a quick jaunt to the grocery store.-(800-500-px).png?sfvrsn=febda185_0&MaxWidth=300&MaxHeight=&ScaleUp=false&Quality=High&Method=ResizeFitToAreaArguments&Signature=89A2277B04F41325C88A85D44B11CF19E7B8A359 "Baseball")
As time slipped away, my to-do list spilled over to the following day with a visit to the auto shop for a long overdue tire rotation. When I returned home, my son asked if I could pick up his glasses, so back on the road I went! This time to the superstore around the corner – my final stop as I secured his glasses and a few other necessities.
Heading towards the checkout, I was struck by a feeling of guilt. It dawned on me that I was wasting valuable time and money zigzagging across town to fulfill needs from various providers.
There must be a better way, I thought, a smarter way to source all my needs from one all-inclusive provider. Perhaps I should have come here all along? It would have been more efficient, and the savings would also have helped me be a better steward of my family’s resources.

As I completed my purchase and headed towards the exit that day, I grabbed lunch from the sandwich shop on my way out. At least I saved myself one additional trip!
Looking back, I could have been more resourceful by grabbing my son’s glasses and all my shopping items while they rotated my tires. That would have left me with more gas in my tank and extra time to enjoy baseball.
