It’s easy to begin to feel like the world is piling up against you and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Especially these days. Trust me. I know.With being out of work with no pay, not being able to make my bills, having to pay certain bills that never should have existed to begin with all while being forced to neglect others is daunting. Seeing no money in the bank account and not being able to see any kind of relief anywhere in the near future, it’s scary. This is a time right now, where millions of Americans are landing on their faces. Believe me, I am one of them.

It would be so easy to curl up into a ball under the covers and hide there. Cry, moan, wail, blame and wither away in the feelings of despair. To succumb to the darkness of feeling helpless is much easier than fighting it off. Really. Every time you turn on the tv. Every time you leave the house. Every time you pick up a news paper or turn on the radio, more bad news everywhere. You have to be Gandhi to stay positive in this crap.

Yet, we have to try. I have to try really, really hard. In the face of all of the negative, the bankruptcy, the financial darkness, the depression, the recession and not so much of a light that can be seen as of yet, it’s more important than ever to keep the faith. Keep hope alive. Know that, no matter what, things will be ok in the end, somehow, someway. Would it be easier to slide into depression? Of course. But I am not going to. I refuse to allow myself to go there.

Hope is what I’ve got at this moment.

I count my blessings daily. I remember how lucky I am. I look at what I have around me; my beautiful babies, the friends who love me, the man whose love envelopes me, the peace I find in my heart through these people. And I pray. I hang on to my faith in the face of some dark days.

If this gentleman can get up 100 times after falling down 100 times, so can I.

And I will finish strong.
