I share you pain, my friend. My life is also just like a country song this year. I am just trying to keep my head up as I believe that I am at the bottom right now. Just keep your spirit up and you will get over it.

Sorry to hear about the recent troubles, mate. If it's any consolation, I got a letter telling me I am being audited (2nd time in 3 months) over the Christmas holidays...I would like to reach for a smoke, but just can't do it.

"I really don't know what else can go wrong."
I was saying this to myself quite a bit in the last few weeks, as I have been dealing with a number of stressors, any one of which could send me over the brink if just the slightest thing tips the balance. I had been coping with a sense of doom, waiting for some calamity to happen.
This weekend I lost my footing in the shower and struggled for a few seconds in what, if replayed on U-Tube, would probably be an hilarious attempt to stay upright, and lost, thinking all the while on the way down, This is it, I'm going to break my neck. Instead, I pulled down the shower curtain and rod, which fell upon and broke an eighty year old tile in my bathroom, one that holds up a towel rod.
When I regained my composure, I examined the severed ceramic bracket and realized how much better I felt. I hope the gods have been appeased!
None of my stressors have actually gone away. It's just that it snapped me into recognition once again of how fortunate I really am, and I try to be thankful for it despite the setbacks, nay, even FOR the setbacks.
None of this compares to your daughter's close call, and I trust she will get the care necessary to be restored to complete health.
See? Already you are starting to regain your footing.
Regards,
Rex.
At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
