I was getting to the point of giving up and quitting this relationship. Even my Grams advised me to seek some legal advice and to stop stretching myself to the breaking point. I admit I had already thought about it. This past year and a half has been horrible. And then the last six months were the absolute worst.
You know I've always been taught that marriage was for better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness and in health, 'til death do you part. Well we've been better and now we've survived the worse and poorer, we've been sick and we're luckily healthy now...but dammit I'd like to be richer for a change!! I do know that that statement refers not only to money but to love. However, I am really tired of being unbelievably BROKE!! I think this is the brokest I've ever been.
My Prayer
That I will have the strength to carry on,
the patience to try again when things go wrong,
the ability to see beauty where others see none.
That I will have the hope of a new dream waiting to be dreamed,
the chance to reach out
and the wisdom to look forward to tomorrow.

Donna sure knows what she is talking about. I guess in a way I need a mantra and this is about the closest thing. Just like: Dance like nobody's watching, work like you don't need the money, and love like you're never gonna get hurt!
I'm just glad to be starting a new chapter in my life and am saying my prayers that good things are on their way for my family!
