When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens

When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens! This is something that I am a firm believer in after many years of ups and downs in my life. At the moment of defeat, I do not always see that open door. The open door is right there smacking me in the face but I want to focus on the door that just closed. Well  right now in my life, one door is about to close and I am trying to find my open door. Summer months are never very high for retail sales, which is costly on my home bills. Due to weather either being rain on the weekends or extreme high temps with high humidity, people haven't been in a shopping mood. So now we are facing eviction from our home. Now don't think that I am looking for sympathy because I am not. This is just showing people that the US economy is still in a place where people are secure in their finances but there is always light at the end of the dark tunnel. Life is never perfect but if we make it the best we can at this moment then we can be proud of our lives. So continue to look for your open doors because they are always there!

Here are some open doors that I like:

When Lightening Strikes

Have you ever had lightening strike your house or close to it? It is one scary feeling! Last Thursday evening we had a tornado watch, severe thunderstorm watch and flood watch. Well the rain storms came fast and furious which we have gotten used to since the humidity is so high right now. Then all of a sudden there were a blue flash and a boom that shook the house and was felt through my body. Lily jumped out of her chair as the smoke alarms were screaming and we were trying to figure out what had gotten hit. Once the rain slowed down, everyone in the neighborhood walked around looking for where the lightening struck.... the huge Oak tree in our front yard!!! It struck about half way down the tree and is a scary site! Well things got crazier and crazier in my life since that lightening struck the tree and was felt through my body. Things went from good to bad and bad to good. Unexpected things happened in my life. Overall, that thunderstorm has taught me to dance in the rain rather then waiting for the storm to pass because you never know what moment can be your last!
