I get through most everything that comes my way on faith first and foremost. When I dig down and come up a little short, I have so many friends and NA bros and sisters with plenty to spare that help me get my self planted solidly back in the day.

Right about now though I am seeing the bottom of the barrel financially, I worked 31/2 days last week and due to overzealous salesmen, summer vacations, and whatever else seems to pop up, there have been cancellations and reschedules, so here I am allready behind on bills, and nothing coming in til at least a week from tomorrrow. I'm down to loose change and need a miracle or there are going to be less than pleasant consequences.. lol ( Anybody want to buy a truck? motorcycle? CD's? stereo equipment?)

I got over my being broke stigma a long time ago. Money is just something that is used in exchange for something else anyway.
The only problem is the grocery store isn't doing swaps anymore and how many #'s of Hamburg is a Stevie Ray Vaughn CD worth anyway ?.(. no wait a minute .. first trade the Anthrax disks don't listen to them anymore anyway.)

but whats really making me feel less than today is having a frined in the hospital having cancer surgery and not even being able to be there ( have a miserable head cold and cough) or at keast send flowers..

Sometimes the only thing I have is a prayer.... sometimes I still struggle with that being enough.
