Retrospective

It has been almost three years since my husband first lost his job, almost two years since I lost my job, a year since my husband had a stroke and almost a year since we put our house up for sale.  Looking back I can honestly say it has truly been one of the worst, most awful periods of my life, thus far.  I am only now beginning to feel like I have finally emerged from the tunnel.  We are both working at jobs we love and still managing to pay our bills.  We are still looking ahead to a time when we will move into a more affordable home with a less labor intensive lifestyle but for now we are staying put.  We’re not out of the woods yet, but I think (and hope) we are approaching a clearing.
