You put yourself into your business, so it is a very personal hurt. I recently had to shift my plans for law school because I only got accepted into the way too expensive school, not the one I can afford. Devastating is not a strong enough word to describe the pain.<br /><br />And I agree with you wholeheartedly about feeling the pain. During my really long walks (which were spurred by my sadness), I realized that we can't walk around our sadness and pain. You learn so many things about yourself when you plunge through the pain head first. Feel it, acknowledge it, live it. That's the only way to get through it.<br /><br />Take good care of you.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722162542135510165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255945126520264592.post-29760427994353460142009-05-27T22:12:00.216-04:002009-05-27T22:12:00.216-04:00With the good attitude that you have about all thi...With the good attitude that you have about all this, you will come through just fine.

Now I'm counting the months and can't wait to get out of dodge and move forward! When I was at a very miserable point and whining to my mom - she said oh but you're learning so much - I said sure, but at what cost. Her reply "oh dear, all educations are expensive!" <br />So here's to us missy! We tried and we wouldn't of had it any other way - we would be just as miserable if we hadn't. So let's go put on our big girl pants, suck it up and PLASTER a smile on our faces and get 'er done! I can't wait to join you next year as another MAK biting the dust.<br />Just think I helped you with info on how to start this mess and you'll be able to share info on how to get out of it!foododelmundohttp://foododelmundo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255945126520264592.post-82754401702117711632009-05-26T17:58:01.847-04:002009-05-26T17:58:01.847-04:00Wow, thank you for your transparency.

It was so difficult to do and yet there was also the anticipation of what was next. We truly felt the Lord used our downtown coffee shop to reach people. At one point as I prayed about finances, God basically let me know Hr would spend every last dollar of ours to reach even one person, so what could I do but say, "thank you." We may never recover from the financial stress of a family owned business that closed, but I am thankful for the chance to have tried and been a part of something bigger than my own comfort. I will keep you in my prayers as you make this transition!Gabriellehttp://www.shopwisebags.com/Welcome_to_Shop_Wise_Bags/Bags.inspiration.life./Bags.inspiration.life..htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255945126520264592.post-23993628332582110072009-05-26T16:02:28.157-04:002009-05-26T16:02:28.157-04:00Sending you *hugs*.

My Dad owns his own business. I can't imagine what he'd do if it went under and it's a struggle at times. <br /><br />And the ending to your post - just feel it. Is right... you need to silence the rushing and just feel and then you can move on.
