It's been just over 6 years since I've started this and about 4.5 since my last post. Needless to say, this hasn't gone exactly how I expected it to. Then again, when does anything work out like we envision it? There are the rare times when things fall into place but those seem few and far between at this point. Now I will admit that there haven't been any huge obstacles but it's the little things that wear us down the most. It's never the boulder in the road, but instead the small pebble in the shoe that pains us the most. However, there are few options other than to just persevere through these trying times. Just get up, dust ourselves off, and go at it again. After all, we just want a life worth living.
