MY LIFE and the many blessing I've had especially the ones I probably didn't deserve.

In the last 2 months I have reconnected with my besties from childhood, high school and college.

One from the circle, has had difficult times but has done well. She has a few health issues and both her pare,ts have passed. The other one from the circle, has 3 adult children, 3 marriages, lost her parents within 6 months of each other. She has struggled financially her entire adult life, lost her house in the recession and now pays rent 3 times what my house payment is. She's been healthy but is still as man crazy as she was at 15yrs old.

My college peeps, one struggled for years and years raising her kids alone, married someone who got on crack, lost her house then her job. Finally 3 yrs ago found a good guy to marry and has the great life she deserves. Her parents are in their 80's and still campin and riding horse

Another peep owned a store with her husband for 20 yrs and found out that the person who sold them the store didnt actually own it. An heir of the late real owner showed up one day with papers end result the store was closed and the mechanic shop he husband ran in the back was closed and torn down. Then she fought cancer for 3 yrs and now her Mom has cancer and is at home with hospice care.

Spoke with my last peep last night. Her company sold out while she was on vacation they offered the employees to lose their jobs or move to Alabama. She lost her job, then started having health issues, COPD, has oxygen, sleeps with one of those machines, now takes meds for well she calls them happy pills, her husband was out of work for 17 weeks from December.

Though I have had a few speed bumps in my road, I am so thankful to have had a great life, good health, to still have my parents and them basically healthy for their ages. I've been blessed with a great job, great friends and support system when I needed it. And I'm thankful I've had my struggles from time to time as well. My life hasn't been perfect, but I'm thankful I haven't had to struggle with many of the things my peeps have
