Being a single mom raising 2 kids like many that have been there things were not always easy and we did not always have the things we wanted. But regardless we always seemed to make it through the hard times and dealt with the hardships and realized in the end how lucky we really were.
Now that my kids are grown I was laid off over 8 months ago but ya know I still have it good and much better then many others. I've never been one that had to have the finest things in life I've learn to bargain hunt and make it with what I have found. Yet it over joys me to see others accomplish goals they are reaching for. One thing I have learned as long as I have the love from my kids and granddaughter I'm the richest one around. We must learn to not let things get us down for it seems some how some where things will always work out for us..

that life is one big roller coaster? 
Had an interesting couple of days. Trying to squeak out some bills late because I needed all new tires on my van last month and it put me behind. But apparently due to everyone else in the same boat the utility companies aren't very forgiving right now. So I had to borrow some cash to take care of that (which I HATE to do). Then the lift for my daughter's wheelchair broke, my check engine light came on and various other things went wrong......and in the midst of all that I had to do Thanksgiving and pick up a fridge that I was buying on payments from a girlfriend who was moving. Anyhow, all I can do is stare at my beautiful clean big new fridge and smile. Isn't it funny how one small thing can just brighten your day and make you forget all about the million other things weighing you down? It's a lesson I need to remember more often. Let's all try to make someone smile today shall we?? (and no, you don't have to buy them a fridge)   Ahhhh, you have got it ALL going on
right now, don't ya......I am sorry its all that at once. yrt I do have that thought always, that when it rains,,it pours. lol,,, As to simple making your day,,,,wink, My brothers home was lost on Christmas eve about 15 years ago... Everything was lost, including their pets. He asked me to help him that next morning. To go back in the daytime to see if we could find his dogs and pups. So we met their early and as we walked through the aftermath, lifting things up crisp and blackened, we gathered one pup and his female dog,,,,placed them outside in the grass, both of us fighting back emotions all morning, he just broke-down and let go his pain. we talked and hugged,,and then stared back inside, when he noticed that for some unknown reasons?, There inside his living Room laid last nights newspaper,,,unharmed,,,,he picked it up, and said of all things not to burn,,as he and I had THAT moment,,of laughter and smiles,,as we still felt the tears..... Little things,,,,,,,,,WINK......make life so special.. And to bring a smile to a face each day,,,is my constant hobby. Strangers make GREAT subjects to practice on,wink,lol Thank you! That was a heart wrenching, yet uplifting story! |

I bargain hunt a lot too. That may be why this new fridge makes me so happy. I have never had one with glass shelves and a lot of room..... 
And as far as everything working out.....I so totally agree. I think all these "things" happened this weekend for a reason. If it was a time when I would be sitting home alone with the kids all weekend, it might have sucked me into a big black hole! We had 3 family gatherings to do this weekend and it is helping having family around and being able to laugh about it. |

My week was slowly but increasingly getting worse.
I felt irritable and didn't want anyone to pick up on it. Today...had to run to th grocery store...hit every green light there and back. 8 total, one was red and jsut as getting ready to step on the brakes it went green. That picked me up alot, felt like was getting a big "there, there" from the great beyond. 
Made me feel 100% better, this too shall pass. |
