No Good, Very Bad Day

When I was young I read a book called Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Well today is one of those days.

I have been holding in LOADS of stress lately and it's taken its toll on me. Nothing (except the Good Things Utah thing) is going okay in my life right now. Everything seems like a giant mess and I hate messes! It feels like I am in a big hole, way down at the bottom, screaming for help, no one can hear me and the dirt is starting to come into the hole. I want to go back in time and change some things that have happened in the past couple of years. Yet at the same time I want to jump ahead a year so that everything will be over and done with and life will be happy again!

Does anyone have a time machine? If so...I'm coming over right now!

Amber-I don't have a time machine but I can relate to your post. We all go through rough times. If there is anything I can do let me know! Sometimes remembering how blessed we are can make bad times a little easier. Someone out there always has it worse:) Keep smiling:)

Breath. Do you recall an experience of cleaning your room or decluttering a closet? I can. It was a total DISASTER!! It would have been so easy to just give up and throw everything that was on the floor, out of place away. but I would probably have lost some really valuable memories or items in the process. So, one forges onward. Wading through the rubble. Throwing out the unimportant, treasuring the sweet momentos, and finding the strength to complete the task. After all is said and done, the room is clear. You can see the carpet once again, and the bed might actually be made. That kinda how life is sometimes. Everything seems to be a HUGE mess and you want to just give up and disregard everything that is weighing you down. but, with the help of the Lord (if you chose to include Him) and support from those close to you, you'll make it through. Little by little the messes will be put in their place wether it be the garbage, the to-do pile, or the memory box. You'll see the carpet again.

Thank you all for your thoughts. Last night a few messes were picked up off the closet floor and I could see a glimpse of the carpet (that's for you Steph)!

When it rains, it POURS! I know exactly how you feel, I have had many of those times. It always gets realy ugly before it gets better. Just like the closet story. It is a holy dissaster, and then before you know it, it is better. Let me know if I can throw you a shovel, just duck first. :)
