Just Rambling

Excuse my ramblings. It is currently 11:37pm on a Monday night and I am wrapped up in my thoughts. I know it is always said that someone out there has it worse than you... It is true I know but tonight I feel the weight of this past year and a half. The biggest obstacle has been being without a vehicle this whole time. Having to rely on someone for rides, walking, and riding a bicycle have become a strain. Never leaving this town for over a year, getting to avoid the elements daily, the luxury of being able to just get up and go somewhere... It is taxing. Most people give the same two comments when they learn this about me.

1. Why can’t you afford a vehicle after a whole year?

2. Well, at least it’s good exercise.

I’ve grown so tired of hearing these things. As for the affording it, we live check to check and for 7 months my husband was out of work due to medical issues and is now on life long hormone replacements and still gets ill.

As for exercise... Well, after riding a bike through rain, sleet, snow, and even a tropical storm, exercise doesn’t seem so great at the time.

Saving money is difficult though we try hard. I suppose I have no reason to feel down or complain. As I said, no matter how bad the situation someone else is always in a much greater struggle.

I guess even through the fog of this ramble the point can be made that life is still a blessing. Some days are just harder to make it through than others.

Thanks for listening. :)
