When it happened to me, in my situation, while it caused me some stress, I used it as(God gave me)an opportunity to let go of things and figure out what really drove my passions and made me happy (and show me what I'm made of!)<BR/><BR/>Now when I can afford the "extras" in life it is just a perk. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully we as people can wrap our brains around that without, or before, some sort of traumatic thing happens in our lives.<BR/><BR/>I love the post card... and I can totally relate in my own way.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792988908227647278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-4167373722415123262008-05-05T08:29:00.000-07:002008-05-05T08:29:00.000-07:00I find that I am happiest when I stop myself from ...I find that I am happiest when I stop myself from focusing so much on the needs and material things in my life and start focusing on the people and relationships.

It is in these people that I find happiness.RLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079032379214019989noreply@blogger.com
