Just when you think you have everything planned.....life interferes.

Oh wow, I was wondering what had happened to you. Have you gotten work since then and started to put things back together? You can avoid the pain of life, but will it avoid you? Seriously, I think some of us have easier lives than others, but nobody totally avoids pain.

In my experience, just when we start to thing everything is turning just right, something happens. But it also works the other way around: when we are in an abyss, something beautiful happens and brings us up. Life hits you many times and the scars are always there. But you also learn to count your blessings and I´m sure everyone has their own. Take care! You are only speaking of material loses.

My story EXACTLY! I have wanted to go travel for about three years now. I actually had all the plans but have fallen into a S.A.D. condition in the winter each time. I have had panic attacks and I realize I probably can't get very far from home without having panic attacks. Yes, life does continually interfere.

Whatever happens to us, there must be why. Whatever we plan could not be reached. All depends on our efforts.

Hon, you are talking to the right person. As a single parent having struggled for quite sometime I was finally heading in the right direction. 9 months ago I lost my job, now lost my house, no income and well there went the happy feelings. So I do know what it is like, but one things for sure we have to pray and have faith and hope for the best as long as we are still breathing. I keep comforting myself everyday with the hopes that things will turn around. Although some days this high spirit really is hard to hold, so I pray that at least the next day that things get better. I will pray for you dear as I know what you are feeling, it isn't Like I can imagine, I know what you are feeling.

Things I've learned! Life happens when you're busy making other plans! If failure is not in your vocabulary you will never fail. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, move on. Life is an adventure or your not living it!

I know how you feel. It just seems things just hit one after another. We seem to get a short break just to be thrown into it all over. Good luck with what is going on now.

i'm so sorry to hear about your problems, erilyn. but like what the others said here, we all go through the same trials and problems. often when these happens, we need a very good support system, that is our family. but obviously, part of your problem is your family. so i hope they'll be open enough to talk things through with you. because if there is resistance on the part of the people who are supposed to help and share with the problem, things will just be more difficult. so try talking to them and let them hear you out, then listen to what they have to say too. stay strong for yourself, for your dreams, and for everyone and everything else you care about. after all these are over and you're smiling, you'll know that you've become a better person.

Life is really strange like that! Whenever things are going well and you think you are on the right path life just love to interfere and get in the way! I've had a lot of plans and goals in the past and some of them have been realised in my life whilst others I just have not achieved! I like the sound of everything happening for a reason and I really hope that this is true! Why must there be pain involved in life? I just don't understand! I sometimes think that it all relates to our mindset and what what we are thinking about at the time! They say that your thoughts are very powerful and that whatever you think about in life whether it be positive or negative, this tends to come into your experience of life. I try to remain positive in life regardless but there are still those tiny nitty gritty things that tend to get in the way when you least expect them. I'm just taking life as it comes now and I'm pretty sure that this is a good way to go. Andrew

Erilyn, first off I am sorry to hear about all of your unfortunate happenings. I also want to let you know that you are not in that situation all alone. Lots of us are having the same problems. I do wish that there was a way to prevent bad things from happening but there is not.I have always been told that "everything happens for a reason" and that " in every cloud there is a silver lining". I try to look at the situation I am in and then remember that there are others with much worse problems. I do hope that things get better for you.

I use to feel like what you feel like now.I felt like one minuite that i was on top of the world and really happy with the way my life was and then all of a sudden it takes a down hill spiral and we are really having a bad time of it.The way i see things is that there are always people that are having just as much of a bad time as i am,they are having a worse life than me,that way it stops me from feeling sorry for myself and then i try to get my life in better order.

Hi Erilyn. I am sorry to read of your mishaps. I had been where you are at now and I survived. I don't know how I did but I survived. And I believe I became stronger because of what I went through. Perhaps, that is the reason why we go through trials...to make us stronger and well...knowledgeable in our experience. My cousin once told me...having surpassed one trial, it gives us the strength of overcoming other trials that may come. I suppose you did if you survived for two years. And perhaps, without you realizing it, you are stronger now than you were years ago. You must be to survive all those trials. Keep your head up, dear.

hello there... take a breath. you're not alone in your predicament. lots of people are having problems just like yours. i for one also have plenty of it. i just deal my problems one at a time. just keep on thinking that if you're walking on a very dark path now, just keep on moving. sooner the path will have some light until darkness will gone then you can start a new one. pain is always part of our life. it will make us stronger. you can do it. just have faith in God for He will always there to guide you. keep on smiling...

..almost i planned my life already but life interferes.Everyday i set out goals for myself for that day and try my best, most days, to complete them.but sometimes life interfere.Its hard to admit that I can't get everything done that i want to do.
