Hi Sherrie, just catching up. It sounds as if you are going to have a dream home soon. It must be wonderful to see all the parts coming together. I think your story about the stool you bought at $300 was great, as can you imagine how you would have lost that in the Casino and more and not thought twice about it. Now you are going to be able to sit on your new stool/seat and look out of your new home and enjoy the view. I would imagine it is a more pleasant view than any casino. It must be difficult for you when your Mum talks about gambling – as I know when people talk to me about gambling – or even if I hear an ad about it – some***** it gets my thoughts going there and it is tough to get your thoughts focused on something else. It is tough if your mother does complain lots about different things. I lost my Mum when she was only 61 so I did not get her at that age. It is difficult when you are with someone who complains lots – whether your mother or anyone – it can really pull you down. Keep thinking positive thoughts and ******** your blessings as they complain – that is what I am trying to do!!!! Although I can get down and complain at ***** as well. I notice that when I am tired I am a bit like that. Keep doing what you are doing – you are doing awesome!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
