You mentioned 2 challenging things in this thread but you also mentioned 2 wonderful things in this thread. Last month you had only challenging things to talk about. You are digging out slowly and have accomplished 2 wonderful things. These wonderful things are the only things that have changed this month. This is progress! The 2 wonderful things occurred because of your hard work. Keep working and you will turn all the other stuff around too.

sannah, I just wanted to say a particular thanks for this, it is really helpful to me to be reminded of progress I've made and that things ARE getting better. Just because there are roadblocks, as you say, doesn't mean things aren't still moving in a generally positive direction.
My immediate reaction when I got in my van and the brakes failed was "oh crap, now I have to drop out of school" and I had a lot of thoughts last night about how it seems like when I'm trying to make positive change it just doesn't work out.
But that's not true, it's just a bump in the road. It's how I deal with the bumps that matters, not the fact that the bump is there.
