What gets me through is knowing how greatful I am to appreciate life again. I went through a period where I was so sad and unhappy ALL the time. I was stressed, irritable, angry, mean, didn't want to get out the bed, actually very rarely did and I was at an all time low. But to be able to genuinly smile is all I need to get over life and myself sometimes. I think life is tough for many folks right now and even though things may not be how I want, I know it's by God's grace that things aren't much worse...because they could be. This morning my little sister woke me up out of my sleep to hand me a picture she drew for me...and in the moment I was like, wtf did she have to do that for! But once I fully woke up and saw it on my dresser...it put a smile on my face to know it was that important to her that she HAD to make sure her big sissy got her special pic she made just for me :-) Great post!

Cheese Ayanna? Really? OMG I love her so much, lol But God gets me through--constant praying. It's hard keeping my faith where it should be since I have like EVERYTHING going wrong @ once, but He keeps me going. Also, have a few, yet fantastic set of friends who constantly encourage me & my efforts. It speaks volumes when I'm down in the dumps to have that small, yet great support system. Plus, even though I'm not where I want to be and things are hard for me right now, I'm trying so hard to change how I look at things. For example: I was pissed I had to pay $801.49 for my car payment I was behind on, but I have 2 good things to think about. One, God gave me the financial blessing I needed (thank you tax refund!) and even though I had to shell out all that money, I still get to ride around in an 08 Fusion. I couldn't imagine having to catch the bus everywhere...in the winter...with an 8 month old! So I just try to stop and remind myself that although things are bad, I'm still very blessed because they could always be worse. There is someone right now going through more than I am, with less than what I have! LMAO! Cheese Ayanna? Really? OMG I love her so much, lol
