Some Things Could Be Worse Than They Really Are

So the past few months have been kind of rough. Being sick and working a lot have been a huge strain on my positive attitude. Not to mention being the sole breadwinner in the family as Brian quit his job after he moved in. As well as having the financial responsibility for Will's school and health insurance. You think teachers would be financially well off but after all the deductions and summer pay, I really work for peanuts. Today was especially stressful but I'm tired of being negative so I put my thoughts in the right place. The tire fiasco could have been a lot worse. We could have been stuck by the side of road, or had a blow out, or an accident. We made it in one piece to Flagstaff to have fun and that's all that matters. For those who have read my blog, you know how much I've gone through; how much I've struggled. I am thankful that I am healthy enough to hold a full-time job; one that I love, I might add. I am thankful I have other side jobs to help me attempt to make ends meet. I am thankful that I am healthy enough to be a part of my son's life. I am thankful that my son is happy, healthy, and smart. I am happy that I have family and friends that love me and at the end of the day, that is all that matters. So if you're struggling, try to find the positive. Things could always be worse. At the end of the day, people matter; the people you love. I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and that your New Year is filled with good times with the people you love!
