Someone close to me once told me that "Things will work out... if you just let them." I sometimes have a hard time believing that and dealing with the daily challenges life throws your way. I pick apart, analyze, and worry about almost everything. Here's the latest...

My husband and I both work full time. My husband is in customer service and myself in social services. Needless to say, we make a modest living. I have a college degree and he does not. I can honestly say, when I married my husband, I never once worried that we wouldn't have enough money and I never once expected him to be the bread winner. I am more than willing to take on that role. However, sometimes he gets worn out from work and talks about wanting to make a career-change. But he doesn't know what else he would/could do to make an equivalent living. While this sometimes scares me, particularly when I think of having a child in a couple of years. I don't love him for his career or how much money he makes. I, of course, want him to be happy but when I think about the future, I often times get overwhelmed with worry. He says he would never just up and quit, he would do whatever it takes to support us or our future family, and we often talk about how wonderful it would be if he could be a part-time stay-at-home Dad. I love that he is "man" enough to think that is cool.

So, I guess what I am trying to say is that, my anxiety sometimes just makes the future seem so SCARY and insecure. I'm totally afraid of the "unknown". But whose future is actually secure? Who has all their "ducks in a row"? Who has their entire life planned out? And, more importantly, whose life actually stays in line with all of those plans?

My heart tells me that we've overcome so much, have a really special love and appreciation of each other, and even though it's just us two, we are a family. And you stick with family and have faith in each other, and just know that things WILL work out if you let them. But it's easier said than done...

I guess I just need some cheering on right now. Life is tough and sometimes we just need people to cheer us on from the sidelines and tell us to keep going!!!
