All for the good.

Nobody is perfect. We all go through issues and hard times yet we get through it. It's just amazing that nomatter how hard or scary the situation is, we always seem to survive. Sometimes we feel like (or make our situations seem) like it's the end of the world. But the fact of the matter is life goes on and things do look up. I think the only constant in life is that things must change. The biggest misconception is that "what goes up must come down". How hard do you have to work to change your direction in life? The road may not be so easy and the hills may feel a little steep at times, but once you start to go up, you've got to keep going.
My year didn't start out so great, and at times even felt absolutely hopeless, but it all worked out. Our finances are looking up, the baby is here happy and healthy, and we're out on our own. Suddenly the mess we were in doesn't seem so bad now that we're out. I guess I learned we all go through our issues, but I guess that's just it. We go through.
