Its hard not to be affected by the "economic crises". In the past I have felt the financial crunch and tightened the belt, but this time, things seem a little more ominous. There is this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that doesn't seem to go away. Sometimes I am able to squash it and move on, but sometimes, I can't seem to stop the gnawing. Maybe it is because I am in a new job....maybe it is because Ryan isn't working right now...maybe it is because I have a 2 year old daughter who depends on me for every little thing. Oh wait...maybe it is all of those things combined! Yeah...that might be it!
Anyway...despite that feeling of dread, I am still, at the end of the day, able to list so many things that I have that make me better off than most and for that I am truly grateful. I can get lost in the what ifs but I am usually able to get back to the "yes...buts". What if I lose my job? Yes...but you have one today! What if I get sick and can't work? Yes, but you are well today! What if we can't make the mortgage payment? Yes, but you made it this month!
I think I'll be all right as long as the last thing out of my mouth each day is a yes but....

Remember you are not alone, and if you ever need anything. Just call.
Love ya
As someone struggling to make ends meet these days, I loved this post, and I'm going to concentrate on the "yes buts" too. Thanks Lyn.
