We really are blessed

So lately I have been a bit more depressed and complaining about life a bit more than I should be. Some of it is justified and certain situations just suck, but some I just need to get over and really focus on the positive in life, not everything is that bad. That being said, while I may not have a huge close family, God has blessed me with wonderful friends to make up for it. I really don't know what I would do without them. And it amazes how and when they've come into my life, and how each has somehow because a very important part of it. I cannot be grateful enough for that. Finances are hard, but I am thankful that I do have a steady job that does make enough to support us, and that we are still able to have a little fun with our money. Yes it's been hard lately with as much as we're putting into the house, but we will (hopefully) get that back someday, and while it's a struggle now, I look forward to the day it will be much better. And speaking of the house. While this house has been a huge headache in itself, I'm glad we've put the effort into trying to keep it. For one it has been great coming across certain things and being reminded of something. And true there is a ton of junk we're just throwing away, it kind of makes it worth it when we find that box of pictures from years ago, or my mom's old diary we get to read through and have a way of hearing the old stories she won't be able to tell. I'm glad we have these things to keep with us and not just walk away from. And last, yes, it will be great if we can actually get some money out of the house when it's all said and done to help out with all the debt we've been put into taking care of my mom and all, but more than that, I'm glad because that's what my mom would have wanted. While it might have been much easier to just let the house go into forclosure and walk away because we might not get anything from it anyhow, my mom fought so much to keep that house and we've already put so much effort into it, it would be a shame to let her wishes just die with her.
