This is one of those “keep on reading” columns!! And I’m glad that I did not stop midway and start the lecture that was in my head and headed to my tongue!
Your doom and gloom and what I feared was defeatism is real, because of course,I’ve lived it. Many of your fellow Americans are living it at levels far worse than yours! Yet and still— We feel you!!
But we know you and we know the young woman (women) of resilience and resourcefulness and fortitude and high achievement that you are raising.
Today’s column is so relevant to life in total! Doing everything “right” with plans for next level success, and here comes Cancer, termination, divorce, death of a loved one or a friend— all checks that cause us to have a “negative balance!” I so often wonder how people survive , recoup, start over from a house fire!! Even the best insurance cannot bring back the memories and the moments. They will always have a negative balance in that category!!
But we know that for ourselves and for those around us , for those depending on us, we must pick up the pieces of our lives, wealth, health, emotions, and did I say money/finances — and move ever so steadily forward. Leaning and relying on family, friends, powers greater than ourselves and the strength within us!!!
