What is going on?

So, this has been the week of craziness and stress for me. I am trying so hard to save up my money so that I can move in with Beth in August and go to North Georgia, right? I mean, I only spend money on gas, insurance and credit car bills and the rest goes straight into savings. I go out to eat and sit, unless Robert buys my dinner (which usually happens), I am very thrifty and good with my money. But, as always, I am thrown a curve ball... My precious Bonita Blanca, my car is in the shop getting a new head gasket put on and the price.. $450. I know that may not sound like a lot of money to some of you, but considering that I only work 17hrs/week and bring home only around $100, that is a lot of money. I remember getting so angry yesterday and bursting into tears. I don't understand why this has to happen to me. Then, I realized that everything happens for a reason and I am going to learn something form this. Today, I am being chauffered from school and work, like I was before I got my license. I realized that I am blessed to have amazing friends and family who are willing to help me out when I need it. And I realized that things could be a whole lot worse. So, while I may be paying my cc bill off until I am 50, I am alive and well, a living and breathing child of God. And for that, I am truly blessed!!!
