Will someone tell me some good news! please!
This past two weeks for myself has been terribly frustrating and it feels like bad stuff just keeps happening. Hearing something good would be awesome.
Bad things this month are
Spill of juice on a laptop (thank god someone bought spill protection)
My car wont start when I try to start i - works just fine at the shop
Driving my dad's truck costs 150 more a week than my lovely little car
Almost burnt down my house making jam - on the plus side...it didnt burn down
If my car isnt working i cant go on my road trip next weekend.
I'm moving in a month and a half (good news!)
Closing my business and finding a new job is...hard but the move will be good for me.

I have felt like this a lot recently as well. I am sorry that so many things are piling up on you at once. Just keep going and don't allow it to drag you down. Life is a hard thing but there are always good things to look forward to and keep in mind. One of these is....
Someone out there loves you!

Thank you.
Was weird i got a chance to visit a friend today who works with chakras...and she has her hands hovering over me and she says you have alot of people who love you, as frustrating as events can be there will always be someone who cares. When she was doing it i felt all funny and tingly. Never tried it before!

I have heard of this but i have never tried it myself either. Did it help you to feel less stressed?
I wonder what the tingly feeling was about!

Have the checked the starter solenoid on your car, surely they would have. My son's fiance and two little girls got stranded about fifty miles from home and it is the starter or the solenoid. Anymore they replace the whole solenoid rather than just that part. Closing your business sounds like a huge move. I would say to look around on the Lot, many people are having a good time. I bet your jam is yummy.

I just had a nap, it should have been that they replace the whole starter not just the solenoid. Good thing you could borrow that truck, even if it is a gas guzzler.

Oh wow. Today theyve sent my car over to another shop - the chyrsler dealer - to have the chrysler computer run tests on it.
It starts...sometimes..but not others...and i guess this morning the mechanic was driving it for a test drive and it quit at the stop sign.
The jam was yummy...sadly...itt mostly ended up on the ceiling.

I think that tension is a huge factor in frustrations.When you work this emotion into the picvture it can make the frustrations seem more compelling to deal with. Trying to find a calm between frustration and tension can be a difficult task but it can be mastered.2 people like this

Well, even I, in recent years, leading a life I'm not very "nice".
Family problems, problems with my younger brother, financial problems, etc..
Above all, the thing that worries me most is the side of the work.
I find myself already at the age of 37 still unemployed!
Cause the fact of a serious global crisis that has heavily affected especially my country (Italy).
I believe that the only things I can do are: pray and hope!

Things happen for a reason, though I admit it will not be always easy to accept nor easy to understand at the moment. Despite the "frustrations" you're currently facing, I think you're still far luckier than most people because you have other options where the others hit the wall. When your car broke down (which I hope won't be for long), you may have a more expensive option for a ride, but most people do not have any other options at all. You were able to save your house in time from totally burning it, while others weren't even given a chance to save anything.
I know this is a long used and abused quote, but I still want to say that "This too shall pass."

whatever happens, think positive in negative situations. Sleep early, wake up early. Wake up with a smile, remember there's always tomorrow.

That sounds like the kind of lousy luck I had in January!
Good news? In a week my husband and I are going to Niagara Falks for our 5th wedding anniversary!!!
