inspiration thread
so about a week ago maybe more my grandma who raised me and adopted me when i was 11 so i guess technically my mom? died unexpectedly. the next day when i called to tell my best friend about it she informed me that she had to get stage 3 cervical cancer removed. i wasnt even aware she had cancer.
to top it off my real mom and her bf had to move in with me ... my mom has no job neither does her bf and they lived with my gma which obviously they cant anymore.
my husband does not have a job either... he doesnt really look either. he goes to college online though.
so far this thread doesnt sound inspirational.
with impending doom coming down around my ears .. as in rent due electric and phone due,, food etc all on me to provide as my husband no longer gets unemployment.. i shouldve crumbled under all the stress and layed in bed comatose, normally i would have that is typically my personality
but instead i cammed my ass off and made my highest paycheck ever! somehow through all the shit i managed to make enough to cover all my bills and have a ton of money left over for saving and even some for getting something i actually want.
my dad died of lung cancer almost 3 years to the day before my gma died. i was very close to him. he always had a saying to no matter what emotional stuff is going on dont let it rule you and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps"
so i guess the whole point of this thread is that no matter what bs is going on in life if you want something bad enough and you work for it itll come to you :)
that sounds kinda sappy or whatever but its true.

Re: inspiration thread
First of all sorry you have been thru all this in such a short amount of time. You are right. I did think this is not inspirational at all! But I finished reading and all I can say is wow! You go girl! It's so hard to push and push when so much drama is around. I am glad you made it this far, and yes, you are an inspiration!
Keep your head up dear :)

I'm so sorry to hear that you have had so much loss lately. My father died last year from complications of diabetes so I can relate to that. Thankyou for making the post...it shows that no matter how bad things get, at some point it always gets better:)
