A Much Different Christmas!
Last Year, We had a nice Corner next to Our Fire Place, that Our Tree Stood! All decorated and The Christmas Decorations were put out all over the Living room and a Nice Christmas Wreath, hung on our door! We usually Cooked a Big Dinner either at My Mother in Laws or my Moms place.
Things are much Different this year. We have a 12 inch table tree, that a friend gave us, sitting on our table with some bulbs hanging on it in our tiny motel room. I do not mind at all though, because we have a roof over our heads! Unable to get to my Moms and My Mother in Law is no longer with us, but with Her Husband in Heaven. My Daughter and our 2 Grandsons are staying with her Boyfriend, in a tiny apartment that hardly has room for anyone else, so I will go to my daughters boyfriends, help cook a Christmas dinner, and bring a few plates back to the motel room for My Husband, Our son and myself. It has been a Very Depressing and Sad time this Holiday Season, but I have been doing my Best at staying Positive and keeping My Faith in God. We all have. My Thoughts keep wanting to go back to the days where we Celebrated Christmas with the Families, but that wont happen this year. I am Very Thankful that I have my husband and son, and we get to see our daughter and grandsons on Christmas, but so much has changed and so much we miss.
We don't mind if we do not get Presents. Just to have Faith in God, some food, gas for our dying car, lol, Clean Clothes, and each other for support, is all that Matters.I see so many people posting about what they did or what they are going to do for Christmas, and I am Happy for them, Really. I do not want anyone to feel Miserable just because things are not that great for us. I want Everyone to have a Blessed Holiday Season. We will be Blessed in Gods Time and we already are! :)
We have had to swallow our pride this past year and it has been Very Trying! We had went through some tough things this last year and with that, I decided, really I had no choice, to ask for help on Facebook and Online. We have had Many shut the Door on us because of this, but in return, We have met some of the most Kindest, Compassionate and Understanding People to walk the Earth! A Couple of Friends sent us a box of clothing and a few needs for us and It felt so good to be thought of! I Hope to repay the kindness someday. I Thank God Every Day for putting them in our lives, because this has kept us off of the streets and has kept a roof over our heads, some food to eat, and now working on getting our car repaired! To me, We Already had Christmas All Year Long and My Heart will Always Remember each and Every one of you who has helped us survive! We Truly would not be here today, if it was not for these Caring Human Beings that I Now Call My Friends! Christmas was not so Lonely because of you few Special People. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All of you and Please just Remember to Always Count your Blessings! :)

A NEW Path to Travel!
It has been a while since I updated My Blog. I do apologize. We are still at the Motel, Thank God for having a roof over our heads. My husband has been working Part time at a local Restaurant and we have barely been able to stay here, but we have. Our car is still running, barely, but still running. We have had our ups and downs. Days without food and gas for the car. Not able to Wash our clothes at the local laundry mat, but washing them out by hand. But in the Midst of all of this, I had received and email from a Facebook friend, who Happens to be an 8 time Best Selling Author and Publisher, and she offered her mentoring services to me and asked if I was interested in Writing a Book!
I have never written before, other then this Blog, some forums, and posts, and a few small poems, so to write a Book, or to be Part of a Book, is Very New to me. I am Excited, but Nervous at the same time. I need to be stronger then ever to do this, because I have to have Confidence in myself and change my Thought process altogether. I try to stay Positive Most of the time, but do have my down days and sometimes share that with my online friends and even in this Blog.
I am now listening to some Inspiring Videos that will help train me to Stay Positive even through the darkest of times. I need to learn how to shut down that voice that keeps reminding me of how much we lost and how bad our situation is, and that is so Hard to do, but I know that I can and will accomplish this. We will never forget, but to learn how to Cope and Move on, is A New Beginning and will Create a New Path in Life which will, in return, open up a Brand New and Much Better Way of Living and so many Possibilities and Doors will be Open!
