It's Hard to Be Happy, Upbeat and Positive - Sometimes

When things are tough, we all hear to keep our chins up and look on the bright side of things. Well, I try to remain positive and do try to look on the bright side, but some days, the worst gets the best of me and I'm say, "You all get in my shoes during this time of worry for me and try to stay on the bright side and positive!" It's hard! When you've been a house husband for a few years, and your comfortable and settled (so you think) and then you get the big news that I got (which was horrible - one, almost cost me my partner's life - two, and subsequently will most likely, unless I can do something to make money in the next two weeks or so, will quite possibly cause me to lose my home, it's just not as easy to look on the bright side. I still smile and try to stay focused, but I really want to just have a miracle happen, and time go backward and this even never to have occurred, but I know that won't happen. I'm a realist. And it gets even more real every day.

So, chin up everyone and remember that things can be a lot worse!
