I found this group on here and was inspired. So far I’ve written it three places I think. I love the idea that someone who may feel lost or like no one is out there could see such a simple phrase somewhere and possibly take it to heart. That it could actually make someone feel slightly better, even for just a minute, makes it completely worth doing. :-)

How I did it: Knowing we would be moving about five hours away in less than a year when my husband got out of the military, we moved into base housing to make it easier to fix up our duplex and give it a better opportunity to be sold. We moved out in December '08. It took until March '09 to do all the repairs needed, including repainting the whole interior ourselves and replacing all the carpet.We then called up a realtor who a friend recom… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My husband and I drove to our new destination city and found an awesome place to live. The landlord screwed us over and rented it to someone else. I drove the five hours back and found a new place, hoping my husband would like it. We packed, rented a moving truck and packed it. The guy supposed to help us backed out at the last minute, so my husband and I had to unload it alone, and I'm not very strong. Lucki… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We put a "wanted" listing on craigslist and several people selling them sent us messages. One person had exactly what we were looking for, so we set up a time and place and went to pick it up! It's perfect and it motivates me to get up and go! Read how I did it…

Just found out that starting next month my husband’s job will be moved an extra half hour away, making it an hour drive from home! So we’re gonna move into base housing so we’ll each only have a half hour drive. Gotta get this house all fixed up and get it sold! Hoping to be out by Christmas. We’ll see.
I’ll get something stuck in my head… sometimes the most ridiculous thing ever… and it’ll just keep bothering me. If it’s an actual event that happened, it’ll be on this continuous loop in my head, making me more and more stressed. It’ll bother me when I’m trying to go to sleep and be one of the first things I think about when I wake up. It’s so hard to just let some things go and stop worrying! I keep trying to distract myself with something else, but it eventually creeps back in. How rude.
