Our Five Ring Circus: An Unexpected Blessing

An Unexpected Blessing

My morning started out incredibly rough. Grant took the SUV in to get checked out, and it was the worst case scenario. To the tune of $1400. I was angry and upset, and ended up in tears.

I know things could be a lot worse. I could be dealing with my worst nightmare. I am very grateful for the fact that I am not dealing with something truly terrible or life threatening. But, all these annoyances of major things breaking are really taking an impact on me. I feels as if we take several steps forward, and then all of a sudden, a giant leap back.

After hours of feeling miserable and depressed, my husband called with some great news. Our car is going to be taken care of.

Family is good.

    Oh I know the feeling! Every time I feel like we are starting to do well something has to break or something too. NO fun! I'm glad everything is ok and that your car is taken care of.
    Family IS Great! :)

    I hate when stuff breaks...as if we need something else to put on our list of things to do."

    It is so easy to get bogged down by the minutiae of life. I'm incredibly guilty of this. It is sometimes so hard to see the bigger picture. I'm glad the post had a happy ending :-)

    Oh I am so glad to hear that! What a wonderful blessing! It seems like the bad stuff comes in waves though doesn't it? We just have to keep on going and be thankful, like you said, that nothing absolutely horrible has happened!

    That is so great it will be taken care of. It's such an awful feeling when big things like that threaten our finances. It always happens at the worst time!
