Reality Check

I was looking forward to this day, because I planned a huge Lia Sophia event. I spent a lot of money & time on this big event, and hoped to sell a lot of jewelry to make money for my family. I advertised in the paper, sent out invitations, booked the senior center, bought refreshments and it was a bust. Only 4 . . .I repeat FOUR people came. I got one order, and one booking. I came home depressed, angry, and disappointed. I couldn't understand why it had to be such a failure. I didn't understand why my prayers weren't answered in regard to this event.

Then came the reality check . . . Yes, it was a disappointment

but . . .

It isn't the end of the world. There are more important things going on. My number one priority is the health & well-being of my children. My children are healthy (except for the typical viruses & stuff). We are happy and we are all together. I was feeling sorry for myself over something that will be forgotten. I need to rejoice in the good things in my life, and work harder to make my business work! Things could be worse and that is what I need to remember!
