OK, so I recently I have been working at finding the good and or positive in each of my weeks, if not days. But, this week, I struggled. I mean I really struggled. But, here is the positive for the week. Each day this week I got up and completed the tasks at hand. But, the week was bad. Bad Week. Saturday we celebrated my sisters birthday at a local Italian restaurant. Not a bad thing, but stopped by the hospital to see my aunt who was ill. Things weren't good. Sunday on the way to church I called to see how she was doing and things had taken a turn for the worst. My suggestion to all, make the call before you get on the road to go to church to avoid wearing your church clothes all day at the hospital. Needless to say, we spent the day and into the evening there. She didn't make it. This is not how I expected to start the week. My aunt passed away late Sunday evening. We spent Monday with family preparing for a funeral. Went to work on Tuesday but began to realize that I was a little shaken by the experience. Wednesday, well, Wednesday is currently my least favorite day of the week now. Mike is officially part of the failing economy, he was laid off. Not fun, the good in this I will strive to find later. But, I do carry our benefits with my job so Catie's surgery is unaffected. I won't be nursing her back to health her dad will. I will learn to be ok with this. Thursday, well, Thursday had a couple of it's own challenges at work and also with family that I won't get into. Friday, well, we attended a funeral Friday in the midst of a downpour. Carol didn't like the cold or bad weather but we were all there in it for her. And that leads us to the end of our 7 day week. Not fun but we did make it through. I strive to find the positive in each day. Sometimes it is harder than I think it should be and sometimes I settle for I got us and functioned today. Today we are celebrating Catie's birthday, brownie sundaes. I figured we can start the next 7 days on a positive note. She's cute, easy to please and quite the crafter. I like her. I think I will keep her around for a while.

I am so sorry for your loss. Words can never do losing a loved one justice. I hope that you can find some peace. I also am so sorry for the hard week you have had. Don't know if you had heard but the failing economy had hit us too, TWICE since we have been here! Well one was just a failing business in a failing economy. I hope that he can find something soon. We can pray for eachother! Hang in there!!! Vent away if you need. I too REALLY REALLY REALLY try to avoid complaining but gosh dangit, some days are just hard. Some weeks are just hard. Heavenly Father knows and will bless you and we will be here for you too, even a thousand miles away!
((HUGS)) Hang in there!!
