Counting our blessings -- hard, but we all should, not just in November.

[moriah]

Right now, I'm very blessed more than I can say. DUers helped me get the money together to see a real shrink, and while I wasn't able to get in before I had to go inpatient, when I was still in a financial tailspin and reached out to my other online/IRL friends for help.... they helped. $10 given by an ex-coworker, $1000 loaned from a guy who I've always paid back in the past, he knows if nothing else it'll come out of my backpay. He told me the biggest thing he wanted me to do was concentrate on getting well, not by stressing or feeling guilty for having to ask for money, and that if I paid at least *something* every month, he'll consider me current. I'm trying to go for a minimum of $30 a month, with a goal of $93 a month (which would have it paid off at 20% interest in a year).

So I'm blessed by my friends.

I try to remember that when I feel like they would be better off without me.
