250th Post and Thoughts of the day
This is pretty exciting, as I am hitting 250 posts. Exciting, but also reflective. What is it about those posts that stand out and take notice? What about those posts are posts that are geared to helping the person reading them feel better, or give them information they can use. If you have been a reader for any amount of time, can you stop and think about anything I have posted, that has stopped to make you take notice? Maybe, but how about something withstanding. I have spent a lot of time going over what things in my life are bad, and where the situation is not what I had hoped it would be. That in many ways was never the intent of this blog.
Build Tomorrow, Another Day of Life is supposed to be about hope. The idea that you can move forward in your life, and recover. My family will recover, I am confident they will. Maybe my credit will take a hit, but in today’s day and age, that is becoming the norm.
What it all boils down to is that we all have ups and we all have downs. The best we can do is ride the storm. And in that ride we have to learn to stand up and fight for our own peace of mind. Fight for our dreams, and fight for our goals. I think sometimes I forget that. So instead of a lot of glitz and glamour to celebrate 200 posts I am celebrating by trying to change my thinking, and then making a “Stand”
I hope you will join me in “Another Day of Life!”

Congrats on the stats! I think yours is a hopeful blog. You have to set the scene, I think, in order to explain what you are doing to change the situation.
Your sharing your struggle and your fears may have done a lot of good for those people who struggle like you. They know they are nor alone. You may even give them th epush to keep on trying that they might need. None of us can evaluate our own blog.
Hey Family Man!
Thanks for stopping by via Dr. John this morning. I’ve enjoyed your blog too — debt is something that I have known very up close and personal in my life. Back in my days of single motherhood, savings was a far away dream! At one point I got in trouble by doing (without understanding) my own taxes. Ended up having my wages garnished by the IRS. Ugh! It was awful! But the pastor at my church put me in contact with a financial adviser who was willing to work with me as a volunteer. That man was a life-saver for sure! Sent straight from God! What a gift! He did all my negotiating with my creditors AND with the IRS and got me straightened out! It only took a year — but I was only less than 10,000 in debt! But my income was SO meager that even that mountain was like climbing the alps with dental floss and a toothpick!
I’ll tell you what though… my kids have managed to get in over their heads too — even though I TELL them what happened to me — LOL! But they HAVE negotiated. My son has had THOUSANDs of dollars dropped from some of his accounts by agreeing to pay off the reduced balance “right now”. Sooooooooo… when you ever get to THAT point - take advantage of that too!
