     Save me from this endless circle.
    Living paycheck to paycheck, my checkbooks
    a blurr.

     I lost myself last year and had to change
    my lifestyle.
     Now, making considerable less,
    my bills continue to pile.

     After thirty years I decided to chance
    a different path.
     Giving it a full year I'm taking a bath.

     Why can't I have financial security without
    missing the sunshine and weekend fun?
     I want to see the months end oweing none.

     I ask myself what is more important to me?
    Always in the red, but having daylight
     hours, sunshine, family life and
    weekends free?

     Or go back making more money than
    I can spend, but missing out on life and
     jeopardizing my health once again?

     I just can't seem to find my way.
    I tried white, than black, and all
     I get is grey.

    I want the road down the middle, a bit
     of each.
    I'm tring desperately to make it
     within my reach.

    I'm running out of patience and valuable time.
     I pray soon both peace of mind with
    money matters and health, enjoying life
     and happiness will entwine.

You know Julia, you have just described exactly how I feel. That is why I started buying the lottery every week LOL.

I cannot do this forever . . . be proud of yourself . . . it's a tough job, your brother will tell you the same thing.

Yep!

Never forget that what you've been doing for the last couple decades, is the hardest job anyone can have...making a home for your daughters...on your own, without a net.

You've done that well, sistermine! Just look at the results! You should, indeed, be proud!

But again, just having some time for yourself....with no worries?
A treat!

This does remind me of those exercize wheels in gerbil cages. (Myself, I find they make a nice cradle to rock myself gently to sleep.)

Your frustration is painful to read from such a gentle soul, 'cause I have this feeling all you really wanted was the picket fence dream too.

I wish I had answers lovie, but for now I can only off the meager cyberhug.

and a prayer, with your kind permission.
