Sometimes, real life just sucks.  I know there are millions of people out there in much worse situations than me.  But the past year and 4 months, have been the worst in my life.

We were just a happy family going on our merry way and then the bottom fell out.  Our first child went away to college, my husband lost his job, then my long time place of employment closed, and then I fell off a ladder and broke my wrist (with no insurance).

There were some good highlights, our first child went away to college, I got a full time job with benefits, my husband had a little freelance work come in, and a lot of the bills were forgiven concerning my wrist.

I am one of those sick people who just has to find some good in everything, I smile most of the time, and in general am a very happy person.  This past year has found me not smiling or being as happy as I normally find myself, but so far, we have made it through.

What have been your challenges this year?  What have you done to overcome them and how have they made you a better person?
