Murphy’s law

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

Funny how life moves. Just when you’re about to make a big change in life, everything starts to fall apart. This year has started off a little more than rocky. The government shutdown set us back financially and we haven’t been able to catch up. Mid january, my car broke down. $1400 dollars fixed it right up. Nolen broke his arm in February and this March’s Murphy’s Law was a broken heater. $963 dollars.

We listened to Dave Ramsey’s book Money Makeover. We are totally committed to changing our financial future. However, Murphy’s Law has come knocking our door. I didn’t believe it would when we listened to the book. I thought that was something that happened to other people. Oh how wrong I was. We have felt many financial blows over the last 13 years and now that I am working like crazy to make up for 13 years of careless spending.  I had so many plans this year, but I am putting them all on hold so that we can have a better future.  "Live like no one else so you can live like no one else." That's what Dave Ramsey says.  

I also recently read a book about becoming complaint free.  WOW! That is hard! I had no idea how much I truly complain in my life.  I am working so hard to curtail my complaints.  I have been on day one for the last seven days.  

I am a work in progress.  I feel a huge change coming my direction this year.  I worked so hard physically last year and this year is all about a huge mental shift.  I am working towards living the life I have always dreamed about.

Just like anything in life, you must work hard for the things you truly want.
