I have had a hard couple of weeks week like circumstance and reached a point one day last week where I had a melt down and couldn't start crying.

I had worked all day on a job and had raced home to pay my bills before going to teach an after school art program. I had made arrangements with the power company to pay them by the next day. When I got home the power was off. I called them and got the run around and was then told the payment plan was null and void, which meant I had to come up with 450.00 on the spot!When I hung up I just started crying and couldn't stop.

As many of you know I took on the marital home and also simultaneously lost a great deal of my income due to the economic fall out. So I have really been struggling.
I suppose In that moment i reached my limit.

I got in my car and headed to the school where I teach and I still could not stop crying. I called everyone I knew and couldn't raise a soul. I kept telling myself i had to pull it together.
I managed to do so and somehow got through the class, but I felt wrung out and exhausted

My daughter had gotten a ride home from school and was at home waiting for me to get her and take her to soccer practice. She is 16.

Again I did not know how I would get through holding it together for her and get through that practice. I was still holding back tears.

I get home and she gets in the car and we take off and within a matter of moments she had me laughing uproariously. She was telling me about her day and as always was full of hilarious stories. I laughed so hard my side hurt.

I realized in thinking about it all later how grateful I am for her being in my life. She always has me laughing. As a result I started to think about all that I have to be grateful for.

I believe that we get what we put out there. Positive attraction. I believe it's our intention that comes back at as. Quantum physics has proven this to be true.

So I have been more focused in on what is positive in my life and have been making a list of what I have to be grateful for along with having an attitude of gratitude.
