As I reflect back on the past five years, I realize that no matter how bad things get, someone, somewhere is worse off.
3 years ago, we were flying high; #1 in our company with an obscene income to match, traveling the world, renovating our home to look like a high-end, posh hotel, able to help others and feeling on top of the world. Now we are living below the poverty line, unable to heat our house in subzero weather and living off of our depleted food storage...and yet...
I have a husband that loves me unconditionally, healthy children, a car to drive and my own health to help us overcome this horrible economy.
I am truly blessed.
Years ago, I wrote a book by the same title. It has not yet been published. I had a time in my life when I felt so low, that I decided, consciously, to give up. The problem was that I didn't know how. How To Give Up is a tongue in cheek title. I don't have a clue how to give up now, any more than I did then. I do have some tricks to getting through that may help someone else.The turtle reference refers to an incident or series of incidents that contributed to the person I am today.
