This is a BLC challenge which has been great as it has given me an opportunity to really reflect.

I thought I would have this great revelation but instead I realized that even the bad parts of my life have been what has made me what I am.

I have a wonderful family.
I live in a great community.
I love my job.
I am blessed with people in my life that I enjoy.
I am still trying new things and planing for the future.

Yes sometime life feels overwhelming and it appears as if there will never be a light at the end of the tunnel. Finances can be so stressful ...... Here I was so glad that I had gotten paid and started to pay the bills when my husband told me the washer was broken. My son and his wife are living with us so that they could save money. They may have used the wrong detergent in the washer which damaged it ( it happened to us previously..... trying to save on detergent it was not HE and it ate the mechanics of the washer).
