When It Rains It Pours

Have you ever heard of the saying…
When It Rains It Pours?

Well that saying became real
in my life a couple weeks ago.
And it made me super depressed.
Everything thing in my house
seemed to breakdown( two things)
I didn't have any money in my
savings or on credit card.
So it's extremely important to 
save up money for a rainy day 
because one never knows what 
emergency will happen.
I learned that the hard. I strive to
do better in the future. As you know
we all learn lessons from life 
experiences.
Well you may ask me what broke
down?
Let me tell you what it was……….
My refrigerator and the plumbing
in my bathroom, stopped working
almost at the same time.
Is the problem solved?
I am working on it.
Am I still depressed?
No, although those things 
happened it could be much worse.
My kids are healthy,
I have a roof over my head,
lights, gas, food, bed and a deep
freezer( thank God for a deep freezer).

Vijay Pandit September 18, 2019 at 11:53 AM I like the positive tone of your ending, Alexis..your poem speaks to many who go through the daily headaches of things not going as planned.

Brenda Chiri September 18, 2019 at 10:26 AM Exactly keep your head up! Things do get better!;)

Chris Green September 18, 2019 at 10:02 AM That is so sad my friend but your attitude will get you through. Indeed it could have been much worse and your decision to count your blessings as opposed to counting a few things that went wrong just shows how strong you are. A few things will always go wrong, stop working, etc but many things will bring you joy. Nicely done Alexis.
