Dreary

This little "problem" with the economy is having a devastating effect on people very dear to me. The only thing keeping me afloat is my husband and my graduate school loans, so I count myself lucky. I'm not sure how I would fair, otherwise.

I want to help.
I want to reach out. But we're just barely getting by, ourselves.
I feel despondent and helpless.

I'm not sure where the next few months will take us, but I hope that we can all hold it together. My heart is with everyone. I just wish there was more that I could do.

It's all too close for comfort.
