Ever hear of that saying...."When it rains, it pours"? It's just a stroke of bad luck. But that's life. The only way to go now is up.

Well, look at it this way: Your marriage ended sooner than later, so the thirteen years had good and bad times. Just remember the good, but that's over move-on. Your best friend really wasn't your best friend because one doesn't loose a best friend. This person was just an acquaintance that you knew for sixteen years. Getting fired means there's another job waiting for you paying more money and better benefits. And loosing the car and house means you no longer have to make the car or mortgage payments, so you can start all over in a new car and a new home. Just take a deep breath, go out and sit in the sun, and love yourself because someone is coming along real soon to love you!

You've had a lot of bad breaks. A lot of major life stressors to deal with. I've been there and it sucks. Its been my experience when one major stressor occurs (like losing your job) that there's a snowball effect in your life. A downward spiral. I can see how loss of the job could lead to losing your car and house. I don't know why you got divorced or if your friend died or you had a falling out. I think its a combination of bad luck and life throwing you some curve balls.
All you can do is play the hand you've been dealt. Even if its a really shi*ty hand you have to hang in there and take it one day at a time. Pray for the Lord to comfort you in your angst. Good luck.

My response is going to sound a little Pollyannaish....but just reading your note comfirms my belief: Just when you think you have it bad, along comes someone with a sad tale that is worse than yours. And sweetie, I can say with all honesty, that the person you are describing (is it you?) is really going through a very rough time. I thought my year was sucking big time, but your story has me feeling much better about my situation. My favorite saying is: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If the person you are referring to has the courage to do so, it will be one very sweet drink of lemonade when they are done.
Good luck, and may the sun shine on you soon!!!!

Just life. A lot of people don't believe in bad luck. Much of the time, if one takes the time to reflect, it is possible to see what went wrong. Except for losing the friend ( if you are referring to losing them to death) trials indicate where the person needs to correct their life's path. I hope things get better.
Best of luck. ;-)

it seems like things are getting a bit funky in my life as well. But not quite as drastic as yours. There's a book I want you to read. Heck, I'd even pay for it if you want, e-mail me at morphola@hotmail.com, and I'll order you "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy Ph.D.. It's all about how you control your life by your thoughts and what you actually BELIEVE to be true and what will be your outcome. Believe it or not, whether we excel and thrive or, adversely, bottom out, meltdown, or crash 'n' burn, it's all because of the way we program our subconscious mind. Read the book, girl.

That's called "the storms of life", and it happens to everyone.
In less than a year's time one of our sons was killed in a car wreck, another son quit school, a daughter got a divorce, and my husband had a heart attack and had to have open-heart surgery.
