I am cross-Wrote a loooong post aimed at our Len and bloomin lost it.
Grrrr.
Anyhoo-to paraphrase: we seem to get most despondant when looking and comparing ourselves to others instead of focusing on what wonderful things we have in our own lives. (And I know I am guilty of this as well)
We also give way to much power to our 'debt'. It is being dealt with and I hate the way people spend so much energy 'hating' it. It allows it to have a hold on our lives and that's wrong. We are dealing with it-a mortgage does not a happy person make. Or better. What we need to remember is, what will our children and friends remember about us? That we paid rent or mortgage? No, they will remember if we were the best and most loving kind parents/friends/partners we could be.
Len-you have a beautiful HEALTHY family and all of us that LOVE you, really REALLy love you so please, focus on that instead of what others may, or may not, have.
Im utterly convinced that the job situation will be sorted, please don't let it ruin the time you have left with Mrs L and Jack xxxxxxEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -

...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
