Update....Just to let everyone know....the progress has been slow! But it is actually happening! My Landlord (due to financial reasons) "is" making an effort to get the situation taken care of! We are taking it one small step at a time! To begin, I had much Faith, Prayer, Patience and hard-work. In order for my situation to begin to "change", I had to help my situation to change. I took a stand and seriously talked to Landlord. I met her halfway, by actually performing some of the work-provided she furnished the caulking, foam and some materials that would be needed to do this. I provided the labor for getting the house sealed up tighter. There is still a lot of work to be done. We are getting there slowly but surely. For us to "change" our situation, we have to figure out "options" on what we can do to make things better. Sometimes, we make sacrifices which means (in my case) volunteering my labor and time. We cant' just talk about 'change' and expect it to happen! We have to take 'action' to physically put 'change' into action! Then and only then, change will begin to occur. Setting goals will help also. See yourself 6 months or a year from now...What would you like to have? What would you like your life to be like? What do you want or need for you to be healthier or happier? Take it one step at a time and make it happen! Do things for others that are 'less fortunate' and unable to make a change in their life, or unable to get their daily paper! Take the paper to them (hand delivery!) Sometimes doing small things can mean a lot! Do this without expecting anything in return and God will Bless you for it! Good things happen to good people! Change your attitude, outlook on the situation, change your routine! Then watch things begin to change for the good around you! None of us has a perfect or easy life! I know I have faced many bad situations in my life! Instead of looking at the bad, I decided to look at the good things! Learning to appreciate them more! If you allow yourself to surround yourself with negativeness only negativeness will exist. If you allow yourself to be around goodness and find happiness within yourself only goodness and appreciation will show itself daily to you. Never give in and never give up! Keep your Faith and continue to try and determined to have a change for the better in your life! If there is will there is a way to make it happen! I wish you the best and I hope this gives you encouragement to know that your situation can get better with applying yourself! You are a 'good person' and I know you deserve the very best that life has to offer you! Take care and may God Bless You Always! ~Love, your friend, MadonnaButterfly.
