High Expectations are the Key to Everything!

Busy day today, Mondays usually are. After daycare I took my 4yr old to dance and then I went to my Beginning Experience support group for those who have lost a spouse either through divorce or death. After our group session some of us got together afterward for coffee which was wonderful. It is hard for me to reach out to others but by doing so in a large group there doesn't feel to be as much pressure as there would be one-on-one.

Today was a long, stressfull day, and yet at the end of the day I received an amazing blessing so I will start first with telling you what I received today. It started with me leaving the house at 7am in the middle of blowing snow to get to the bank to make a deposit to cover a check that I had deposited last week that came back as insufficient. I made the deposit but unfortunately not in time, after my deposit my account was still in the negative thanks to overdraft service fees. I started to… Continue
