Well, misery likes company. I’m getting divorced as wife found my witchy stuff on my PC, I had to move into a trailer which now has no water, frozen pipes, gotta get 3 teeth extracted, tooth broken, tooth ache, flat tire went to get it replaced, and well, aint that just peachy, jeep’s front sub-frame is rusted out, gotta get a new car too. It’s the luck o the Irish. Mom useta say, if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.
Oh, and I live in ILL where the doctors all suck, and my blood pressure is HIGH and can’t get a cardiologist for months. It sux here because of all the HUGE malpractice payouts make the insurance SO high, and docs who can move out of state, do so.
So, I need help too. IDK how much money I got, lawyers say don’t spend any until it’s split.
Only bright spot in my life, is my Familiar. Get to see her tonight.
Greetings and Welcome Jess!
Did this happen around the time of December? My life kind of got up-ended (still working on getting it upright too) around that time. LOL. I’ve also been hearing rumors about what lies ahead for this year. We may all be in for a wild ride, we’ll have to see.
Sedim, you have my sympathies. Stay strong, your familiar will certainly be your best friend when you need them most.
It’s important to remember that all suffering is temporary, especially when you’re going through it. I’ve recently changed my practice to help me get through what I’ve been dealing with too. Stay strong, everyone!
Cheers.

Thank you Lady Gene, good to see you again! I’ll add that to my collection.
Things are getting better, one day at a time.
All things are temporary, and suffering is only in the mind… 
Cheers.
Terrific Tuesday Jess,
This probably is not what you want to hear, but having spent most of my life getting “the leftovers”; everything has been lacking in one way or another. My mother always called me “charlie brown” as a kid, because if something was gonna go wrong, I would always be the recipient. I have finally come to the conclusion that some of us have “a lot in life” that does not correspond to what we want or expect. Life just IS…we have to deal with it. I have learned to laugh at my “misfortune”, because “I’m used to it”….just have to smile/chuckle and move on. I have come to the conclusion that we are probably on the receiving end of these issues because we have something we need to learn on our Karmic Journey through “this thing called Life” (Prince 
). It is NOT fair.
***Long explanation follows: I spent my first 50+ years believing that The Constitution was the “gospel truth”…Let me explain… Fairness—-the Constitution of the US states that “all men are created equal” (obviously NOT, it did NOT include anyone other than White, Males), however, taking that to heart, growing up in the 60-70’s, I believed that everything was FAIR in the US. How WRONG I was. But, I was always angry that life was not fair. I believed that the lack of “fairness” was due to people not following the law. Well, that is not the case. There is no FAIR, there just IS. Once we accept that life only gives us EXISTENCE, the rest is up to us. How we deal with life is what is about. Not how life treats us; it’s how we move through life, not how we control LIFE but how we control ourselves. That is ALL we can do in life; is CONTROL ourselves. We can ask the cosmos to help us, to conform to our will, but ultimately WE have to CONTROL us, not the other way around. Many people “hope” that magick will allow us control over the cosmos. Not even close…the Craft allows us to step into the “magick” of the universe and find our place within it. Not to fight and bend the universe to what we wish it to be. Really, think about it….if we all could manipulate the world, how confusing; that would create more havoc than what we have…the cosmos trying to bend to each individual will…what CHAOS that would create. The real “trick” to witchcraft, is “plugging” into the Aether, listening to direction, and bending your life to fit in with what the cosmos is gonna do anyway. So, do you wish to glide along the current, in smooth sailing, or are you gonna “go against the flow” because of stubbornness?
Well, did give the warning on how long this would be. So all this being said, use your magick to connect with what is happening, to accept, and move on from this place to something/somewhere that is a happier “place”. (more beneficial to your well-being) There is no RIGHT nor WRONG (only took me about 60 years to figure that out 
) it is all how we deal with it that is right or wrong. (Even then, not really, nothing is just “black or white”—-lots of grey out there)
So, I know it may be hard to see, but to get through this without any grief (through any hard time period), if you cannot find any “light at the end of the tunnel”, try to look at what the “lesson to be learned” is. Maybe it is NOT what is happening, but you might have to conquer some inner demons, on how you are handling it. You may need to look beyond the immediate trouble/pain/issues, and vision yourself “on the other side” of these problems…then discover how you need to move forward to read that other side.
So sorry this was long everyone…did not know how to discuss this any shorter.
Lady Gene
