The sun and the warm breeze. I than started things of things that make us happy. My grandsons, my son, my sister. friends, and my mind eased. Because in that moment it didn't matter if I owe money or my house is in foreclosure or little money. In the moment I was lucky to be alive and have the close family members and friends that I have. With that change of mind I may be starting a job next week which will help with my money woes. It is not always easy to focus on the good in our lives but I refuse to live in fear and gloom because there is so much more out there.
