So here it is--- December 22 and I don't have any Christmas decorations up. nothing. wish I could get into the spirit, but it's just not there. Don't have money to get a few extra things. Don't have a job & my monthly pension check is gone before I get it.

I know I do have a lot to be thankful for: roof over my head, food on the table, family & friends who love me, a car that's paid off and I was really lucky to get a mortgage modification. I just wish I could shake this negativity I'm feeling.

Maybe someone will see this and send off a prayer --

Thank you Lord for another day here on your earth! Bless my children and make them happy.
