Living on the Edge...

Today my son called from Austin to say his company has gone belly up and he is now out of a job. He is not the type to get down about what life has to offer when things turn negative but I can tell he is worried about this turn of events. After all, he and Jenni just bought a new house...There are bills and a mortgage to pay. Unemployment will not cover the costs and Jenni will have to give up her dream for awhile of getting her degree. I am sad and sorry for them and hope and wish Noah will find a job soon that he loved as much as he did the one he lost.

These last few years have been really trying for my little family, what with my dad's illness, the death of my mother-in-law and my husband's siblings fighting over the will. We have no idea what the future holds for us...Whether things will work out and we will have a home or be forced to sell our home of 32 years and start anew. I am sure we will manage somehow but the worry and stresses of the situation are constantly on my mind. Now with my son, it is just another rock on the pile...

Trying to keep positive in the eye of these storms is the biggest challenge I face.
