Lately the only thing on my mind is ....How can I find gifts for people with no money? I am on disability and have a jobless best friend living with me, since September. So if money wasn't tight enough, now there is none. I have a few ideas but it really get's me down. I should have spent time doing something about it rather than just being depressed...now I will have to scramble......
So what's on your mind?

There are way too many things on my mind this year. If I thought past years were tough, I was sorely mistaken. Financial difficulties, family problems, health issues for one of my nephews, you name it, I have worries about it.
But, still in all, I have my tree up and decorated. All of the stockings are hung (regardless of the fact that not everyone will be with us to celebrate this year), heck I even got a few Christmas cards out. I still have more to send and plan on addressing them tonight. I was able to get one pair of mittens knitted and need to make 2 more pair. They are relatively simple to make and take little time too.
Yes, I am still depressed overall, but I have moments when the light shines through. I live for those moments.
Big Huggers to you.

I know that I'll get through this. God doesn't give us more than we can handle. If we buckle, he will be there for support.

I have alot on my mind this year also as the holidays draw near. I want to make sure to buy things for my family and put food ont he table and pay my bills also. We are working seven days a week right now to make it happen. I hope everything works out for you also.

Sounds like you're going to make it happen.....lol I wish we could go back in time when money wasn't quite as important as it seems to be these days....well I guess it's always been fairly important...but no so bad as it seems now. I do so wish I could go back to work but the doctor wants me to wait until my diabetes is back under control...if it's not one thing it's another.....Well I hope you have a lovely
Christmas.
Blessed be,
Mari
