Connie,
I'm not going to try to talk you out of the blues. I know how you feel.
But I do want to tell you that I think you are lucky to live alone. I live with my 85 year old Mother and sometimes it's very, very hard.
There is this house that I want, that I asked Santa to give me for Christmas. It costs $675,000.
Right.
I applied for a promotion this year that I was very qualified for and that would have helped me stay on top of medical bills, much less to buy my dream home. My boss gave it to someone else (for political reasons) and she's doing quite the sloppy job, but, I knew she would. Plus, she has a bread winning husband to help her out in life So, for me, I stay alone (with my 85 year old Mother) & the medical bills keep coming in, and I keep treading water....
I try my best to put a humorous spin on my situation. What else can I do? I put a humorous spin on my situation and I continue to have faith that God loves me and will look out for me and keep me safe. He's kept me safe thusfar....
So, here is my dream home, and here is Santa that I took with me so he could see what I wanted. This home was built in 1880 and has a beautiful garden and a painted wall mural and a Paula Dean kitchen.
The bottom two photos are from my day yesterday at a down east Christmas celebration where I rubbed elbows with millionaire couples with dream homes and who also do not have the Sword of Damocles (cancer) hanging over their heads.
But, I think I may have enjoyed the day just as much as they did...
