it sounds pretty rough sweet girl. But as so many have said - This too
shall pass.  I thought you were going to start a concierge service?  What became of that?

right on! That's what I say all the time. When my little girl was burned
every one told me "It could have been worse".  Well shit!  19% of a 4 year old 3rd degree burned sounded pretty friggen bad to me.  But for everyone telling me that, someone was telling an even lesser burned survivor "It could have been as bad as that little girl".  Pain is pain.  Hurt is hurt.  Sure, others hurt with more things.  That doesn't make your pain any less.  We have a right to be hurt so that we can heal.  Don't diminish your pain because it isn't even worse.

you can't say that.... you can't say there are people who have it worse which means you have no right to complain. you have EVERY right to complain...... no one has it worse because are all so different. darn it, if your life sucks and you need to vent about it then VENT-VENT-VENT...... things are bad and i wish us saying "things will get better, hang in there!" would help, but it won't... (if it will make you feel better though, i will send good thoughts your way....)

MiaElla, it seems that all you can see is all the bad stuff which happened which is quite understandable. I tend to agree with Quirky. Perhaps you could start by writing a post which lists the good things that happened however small and if you are looking at the positives, the luck can follow.

MiaElla--Hmm--

That old saying "Bad things come in threes" doesn't seem to be applying to you.

I have found that when I seem to be creating an enormous amount of rotten luck or difficult things, I need to carefully watch what I am thinking...negativity breeds more negitivity, they say...so I try consciously to add more gratitude back in, for the things that ARE going well...I hope your tide turns asap!
