Tough times make us stronger

Many of you know me from my many walks of life.  The smile you see in this photo is one I haven't seen in a while.  Yes, I've made some poor choices, but I've also touched and been touched by too many lives to count.  This is very tough for me to share, but I'm at the lowest I've been since June 8, 2006.  I know some of you will think "oh the nerve of her" and others will think "how can I help".   Any of you that read this through have already touched my life.  I've started a new job 3 months ago and although it's great, I'm still the newbie and have a long way to go to making ends meet.  I was fortunate to have Daddy's car given to me and it's great, but it's getting older.  2001 Ford Taurus with alot of great memories in it.  The funds will be used to give the car, which is paid for, thank God, a much needed tune up and repair to keep it running.  Right now, it's parked in my garage and we're down to one car.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I will be forever grateful and mostly humbled if I see $1 in there!  I haven't put up a tree this year because seeing it empty underneath is just not fun!  I'm not looking for sympathy, it's just that at some point in our lives, we have to suck it up and ask for help.  I get my stubborness from my Dad, but after the hard part of asking for help is over, the heart becomes full with blessing of all shapes and forms.  If you skip by this without a second thought, my appreciation is there. I'm working my second job at Legacy Beverage to have some extra cash for groceries, etc.  God Bless all of you and I wish you the merriest of Christmases and remember HE is the reason for this season.  My head is held high and I can always find something to laugh at.  It's probably inappropriate and tacky, but that's where my humor usually resides, in the gutter!
