What can one do when the road gets tough?

What is a person to do? When you are caught in a rut with no where to go? Many people cannot seem to get over the hurdle that is holding them back. They feel that something will come along and help them magically get out with no pain or suffering.
I learned at a young age that if you are stuck in a rut the best choice is to learn as you climb. Don't give up on what seems impossible. I am reminded of this I recent days as I have faced some struggles in my personal life. While my work life has remained steady and strong (thanks to the help of my father). My personal life has been more of a train wreck. First I had to cut back on some volunteer work I did (hardest decision I have had to make in 28 years), Then I had to deal with the loss of a few friends. All of this was due to my health. Being able to work from home (bed) on a computer and still work was my only sanity during this last week. I have prayed for an easy way out of this rut but so far I am taking the long climb up.
It is fair to say that logging in and seeing all of my Active Rain family has given me the motivation to keep on climbing. As of today I am doing much better and might even spend some time on me. Praise the Lord for unanswered prayers otherwise I might have missed some great posts by some wonderful people!

Or perhaps fix up that back room to a spare room. The little projects you have been putting off might not seem like they would make a world of difference but to a buyer, they do. That is one less thing they must worry about when looking for a home. The house or property with the least amount of work that needs to be done is the winner 9 times out of 10. Unless it is an investor or a house flipper. Second, declutter is a must. Now while you are packing to move yourself you will ...

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls. Sellers should consider making the tone of the wall color in the kitchen brighter. Lighter colors tend to open up a room. They are also much more inviting, enticing potential buyers.
