Life has dealt us some bad blows in the past week. My hubby C totaled our car in the pouring rain on Saturday morning. He wasn't hurt, so we were lucky. Then I lost my job yesterday. I really don't care because I hated it, but it is a financial challenge.
It is hard to continue to live in the present moment and feel grateful when it seems as though the walls are crumbling in around you. I guess that is my challenge for the coming weeks.
The really ironic thing about all this is that we'll get a pretty nice amount of money from the settlement with our insurance company regarding our totaled car. This leaves us with much better options than we would have if I'd lost my job and the car hadn't been wrecked. Life can be so strange sometimes.
To add insult to injury, I had one of the most horrible migraines I've had in a while last night and today. I couldn't stop throwing up. I was miserable, but I'm feeling better all the time.

:-\ Sorry to hear about that all... when it rains it really pours sometimes, I know that feeling.
Hoping that things will take an upward swing for you soon, in all aspects of life!
Thank you so much. :)
I know it might sound weird, but I'm actually feeling grateful for everything right now. That job wasn't good for me and now I don't have to keep trying to make it fit. Now the challenge is to hold on to how I feel in this moment!
