The spiral…
Do you ever wonder why there are certain times in your life when things spiral out of control? You get bad news on top of more bad news. You wonder when it is going to end. If you have been following my blog, you know that I also write about health related things. Last year was a particularly hard year for me health wise, but I was determined not to let it beat me down. There are some things that are not in my control, and try as I might, I have not been able to figure out how to put money in the bank and keep it there.
Just last week, one of our cars was in the shop. Since we finally paid it off, the repairs probably cost near what the thing would be worth if we could trade it in. I have tried my hardest to save a small amount of money, but the attempt has been in vain. I keep thinking about those shows where they find things to sell in the attic, but I don’t think my brother’s He-Man and my old Barbie pool are going to make me much money. I did manage to find a few misshapen lumps of clay that I made in elementary school for my parents. A lumpy green vase with an unsteady bottom, an ashtray in brown and orange (sure to fetch tons of money), and some sort of pocket thing you hang on the wall.
Since everyone I know is working on their best-selling novel, I’ll let you know when I publish mine. Until then, let me know if you need me to make you a deal on a slightly lumpy green vase. It’s sure to be worth something one day.

Spread awesomeness:
I’m sorry it’s all piling on top of you right now. I know that feeling, and it just seems like the negative energy keeps attracting more and more.
I just found your blog after you “liked” one of my posts… so I don’t know if this is offensive to you: but it’s in times like these that I turn to prayer. Just immerse myself in God’s grace.
If you want prayer, just let me know. And even if you aren’t spiritual – the good vibes of someone thinking happy thoughts for you can’t hurt, can it?
It’s always darkest before the dawn. I know that’s so cliche and doesn’t help you out at all now, but sometimes a little inspiration can go a long way. Things will get better, hang in there.
Prayers are always welcome:) In this economy, I know many people are going through rough patches…that’s why I write my blog. To show others that they aren’t alone.
Well then, prayers are coming your way! I have porphyria too!! (that’s probably how/why you found my blog), but I have Variegate Porphyria, and luckily it’s without too many skin issues (i do have these really weird cysts though. ugh).
Anyways, helping others, solidarity in tough times, and banding together is an awesome concept. It’s what I aim for in my blog as well, so it’s nice to “meet” you, and I hope things are only on the mend for you – in every sense!
