Over the last week, I have been spiraling down. My thoughts, becoming more negative. I began to question why I am so open about my health and my struggles, posting my life on Facebook and this blog for everyone to see. The answer I gave myself was - I have no friends. Most people would …
Today I faced a situation I was hoping not to have need of facing. After healing from my third back surgery in late July, I started to have increasing pain over the last month. Finally giving in to the reality of it, I made an appointment with my doctor. On my way there this morning …
My husband informed me of an oversight that was made regarding the plans for building our home. One that will cost us thousands of dollars we don't have.
