"To the question of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution." ~Jo Coudert, Advice From A Failure
# 2 Stop running from your problems. – "Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become." Well this one is a little tough. I don't really run from my problems. Hahaha don't have a choice to run because most of my problems or struggles stem from money. And damn those creditors they find you, no matter where you go... or worse just shut your shit off! I do get sad, upset and hurt over the money issues. Going from a three income family to a one income family with the same amount of bills really SUCKS! I know getting upset over money or bills is stupid but I hate that I can't do the things with my son that we use to do since we can't afford it. He was very spoiled with lots of traveling to really cool places and now we can barely afford the movies or going out to dinner once a month. I keep telling myself it will get better and all I can do is hope and pray they do, for his sake. It hurts me because he sees his dad continuing to do all the things we did as a family without thinking twice about it. Yet we sit here and have to wait for the ebt card to be reloaded every month just to go shop. I love my son to death that he is always here for me and always reminds me, "It's ok mom I understand we are gonna be ok. At least we have each other." God I love that kid!!! His older brother is a huge supporter and together we make it all work :) Until tomorrow... Nitey-Nite
