Lately, life seems like one big rollercoaster ride with all the loop-de-loops, sharp turns, slow climbs to the top and sudden plunges to the ground. There are days when I can't wait to get on because it looks like so much fun. I'm looking forward to the ride and all the thrills and chills that I'm excitedly anticipating. Once on, however, I sometimes wish it would hurry up and end. Maybe the highs are too high or the lows are too low or the loop-de-loops are just too crazy but sometimes it just makes me dizzy and I want to get off before I throw up. Some days I'm up for it and some days...well, not so much. Right now, I feel that I'm just in line waiting. And it's a LONG freaking line. Ya know, the three-hours-wait-past-this-point kinda line. That's how I feel about my debt sometimes. I can't wait until that day when I can enjoy the highs and tolerate the lows because I have that safety cushion where worrying about money is the LEAST of my worries. In fact, I can't wait until it's not a worry at all. THAT would be sweet! To actually go into a store and buy something I need for myself or my son and not feel guilty for buying necessities because I'm adding to my debt overload is something I am looking forward to soooo much that I feel like I'm at the end of a long damn line to the most popular rollercoaster in the world and it's been temporarily shut down for maintenance. Since no one wants to lose their place in line we all stay where we are...and we wait.
Rollercoastering....

But aren't rollercoasters fun? I love the ups and downs of life. Right now I feel like I am on a wooden coaster, all bumpy, providing whiplash!
The debt seems to be going up and not down...but I can see the end of the ride and I can't wait to get off!
Hang in there my friend! I love you!

Rollercoasters ARE fun, sometimes. It just depends on the rollercoaster and whether I feel good or not myself when I get on them.
I love you, too, my dearest friend!

Ooooo, Florida! I'm so jealous! I hope you had a blast while you were there, sweetie, unless you still ARE down there. If that's the case, I hope you are STILL having a blast.
I love you, too, my dearest friend!
