Sometimes, the world seems so unyielding, an impassable barrier that keeps us from making any progress. It always seems to be the same thing, too, that hinders us. I had to fight back tears at work earlier this week after receiving bad news about our finances. It's always about money.
But sometimes, usually even, I'm proven wrong. I had to fight back tears at work today after receiving a rather nice email from my landlady. Justin's foolish optimism almost always wins out over my dreary assessment of the way things are progressing. We get second and third chances, we find faith from others that gives us time and motivation to do what needs to be done. It's more than we deserve, I think, given how we're the ones who have gotten ourselves into these circumstances by the decisions we've made.
We're learning, though. It's easier to acknowledge the problem, though, than to follow through on fixing it. My goal is to be out of debt (or close to it) by the end of the year. My primary concerns are rent, utilities, and inspection.
We'll see how it goes.
