It’s hard to stay positive sometimes.

You know how you go through parts of your life, when everything is either super great…or totally sucks? What about when it’s both?

I know I should be so grateful for everything we have. But, it never seems right yet.

We have a house. Yet, it doesn’t really feel like our home. Considering we can’t wait to sell it. But of course, the market still sucks, so it won’t be anytime soon.

My husband works. Yet, we just barely have enough to pay our bills. It’s so frustrating to not be able to do much, because well we just don’t have the extra money.

I can now work from home with Tiny Toe Creations. Yet, I now have less time to blog or do anything else and it’s not to the point yet where it’s actually an income.

We have friends. Yet, not like we used to. I honestly don’t feel close to many anymore. It hurts that we don’t get invited to birthday parties or play dates.

We have each other. Yet, a part of me seems like it will never be perfect.

…and yes, I know the up’s of life wouldn’t be as sweet without the down’s. but it still sucks!

    It's rough, isn't it? I feel isolated as well. I can't work and am applying for disability, but it is so hard to pay the bills as you said. It's frustrating and disheartening. I try to keep my head up. It helps to know we aren't alone. <hugs>

    ugh! i know EXACTLY how you feel! we are in the same boat as you with the house situation and the friends issue. so NOT cool!! i'm trying to be as positive as possible, but yeah… then i try praying and then realize that God has a million other things that are probably more important that my silly "problems" (Japan and Libya…etc…) for now, i'm really trying to live the day i am on instead on thinking too far ahead. i'll let you know how it works out :) good luck to you, too!

    ps – found you via follow me chickadee! happy hopping!

    Remember that soon April will chase away the dregs of winter and you'll be able to get out and do things out doors again! That's always a good thing to everyone up!
