A Friend in Need...

Yesterday was a tough one for me. Had someone fraudulently use my check card before I could report it lost or stolen...they spend almost $300 and overdrew my account. Then yesterday afternoon my daughter's dog bit me when I tried to put on his leash. I mean he bit me hard and woudn't let go. Then to top it off, I developed a sty on my eye. I look like a freak right now.

I was being really challenged emotionally. Sometimes it's like a snowball effect. Usually I can deal with one thing at a time. One disappointment, or one challenge, or one assault on my emotions. But when they come in bunches, it is really hard to maintain my emotional equilibrium.

I am blessed to have some good friends. When they saw my facebook post last night, they called me and invited me to dinner. Then they took me to see the late showing at the movies. We had a great time together. I needed that. I say all this to say that we should never underestimate the power of friendship. Being there for those you care about is so important. So now I need to get off my emotional rollercoaster and look around and see how I can be supportive to my loved ones.

    Life is going to turn out just fine for you.
    Though newly single you now realize you're not alone... and isn't that a great feeling.
