I NEED Some HOPE

(28 posts)
  1. My Family...I'mstarting to lose hope here again. I need to build my emotional strength before I end up throwing in the towel. Everything has basically been going on track w/the exception of a few non-usefull,non-important annoyances...until today. Your aware I'd been working on getting my car into the shop. A peticular shop because I've known the guy for 20 yrs. & trust him more than Mr. Useless to work on my car. The guy had put me off somewhat for the last 2 wks. & for good reason...w/the holidays & all(he was swamped w/marine vehicle repairs). He put me off again today & asked me to come by tomorrow to set up an appt. I'm thinking I'm going to have to go elsewhere to have it fixed because of the time lapsing & that will end up being $20 more per hr.& the work questionable.
    After that I went to take care of the renewal registration(it's due on Thurs.).Well...I'd just had the car repaired thru the govt.last yr. & it was finally set to go smog-wise & wasn't due till next yr. to be checked again. DMV is saying different & I'm to get it checked before my tags are given to me.
    At the moment w/everything in boxes pertaining to smog & repairs...I'm at my wits end. I can't find the papers. I don't understand why I can't. I'm usually quite organized. Lately,my mind has been so stretched that I can't think straight. I just NEED some encouragement that this is just another test of my patience & that it will be over & done with as quickly as possible. I just Thank You all for being here for me when I do get emotionally stretched. You've been my Anchor. Love You All!!

  2. Feral! Hugs and more hugs your way! Take a deep breath, count to 10 and allow your TDK family to shoulder some of your stress. This family can and does work miracles. Now is the time for yours. Know that I am sending positive energy to you and lots of prayers! (((FERAL)))

  3. Oh feral, I'll say a special prayer to St Anthony that you find the papers.
    In the meantime, is there any chance that the shoop where you had the smog test done might have a record that they can give you a copy of? If you can tell them the date, more or less, maybe they can track it down.

  5. (((Feral))), I will pray to St Anthony too that you find your papers. But TL has a great idea, in GA emission tests are kept on the web so the DMV can see them, I bet there is an electronic record somewhere of your emissions work.

  7. Feral, I just called a local shop here in So Cal and was told that the shop where the smog test is done is supposed to keep the records of the test and results. I hope this helps.

  8. Susie, you're stressed and anxious and I suspect that's why you can't find the papers. Maybe you could take a hot bath, sleep on it tonight and tomorrow hopefully not feel so anxious about where they are. Then you will probably remember. Well, I know that I'm like that so maybe it would work?

  12. Take a deep breath, when flustered you won't be able to find a thing. Sit for a moment and just clear your head. Let calm and peace fill you and then slowly look for the papers--you will be more likely to find them. I just wish you were getting out of the situation you are in.

  13. My prayers for you that you will find your paperwork and things will start turning around for you. Healing white light for peace and yes, there is HOPE!

  14. Susie, I can only find things I've lost when I stop looking for them. It always (well, nearly always) works, sometimes within a few hours, sometimes a day or two... {{{Susie}}}

  15. Susie, I have done the same frantic search for something I knew I had and that I had to find quickly. I found my items when I relaxed, took some deep breaths and let my mind wander through the areas they might be. Let yourself relax and your mind will help you remember.

  16. Susie, I'm just like Jcat...I only find things when I stop looking so hard. Try to relax a little, maybe remark some of your boxes, that way you can see what is in each one as you go thru them...it will turn up.

  17. Me too, 2B, I take a deep breath and say "God please help me find this, I just can't do it!" Then I stop looking for about 1/2 a day and presto, I find it! {{Susie}}

  21. Thank You so much...All of you! I'm still in some dispare...more so since learning of Redford's fate tomorrow.

    I still can't find my papers,but, it doesn't much matter. It seems I'm the one who is in err. All the troubles I had last year & all taken care of except,they were all in penalty from the year before. With so much going on w/me here w/soon-to-be ex & caring for all the cats & all,I was even thinking about the smog being past due. I hate the fact that my (what use to be happy) life has turned upside down because I made the wrong call on a partner & then I couldn't turn my back on a few cats that clearly belonged to other neighbors that didn't give a hoot about them. If I'd have stayed down in the bay area instead of moving here w/him,I could've had a whole different life...maybe a Happy one.

    Thank You All for being here when I needed that shoulder to cry on. I Love You Dearly for that! Meow....>^..^<

  22. Please don't judge yourself harshly for the choices you've made along the way. Guilt and regret are generally useless emotions. Promise yourself that you will learn from your mistakes, then forgive yourself. You are a person with a loving and gentle nature. You did what seemed right at the time. You can still find happiness, Susie, maybe not in ways you once dreamed of, but real happiness nonetheless. {{{hugs}}}

  23. Sending some positive thoughts and hugs to Feral. Take a deep breath, get a glass of water and just empty your mind for about 10 minutes. Hopefully it will help you regroup. Also, as KW says, don't judge yourself harshly and as my Grandmother says, leave the judging to God. Sending you more hugs.

  24. Okay...I'm in a real panic mode this morning. I'm having to take the piece of c**p car of mine down to get it smog-tested first thing after feeding my crew of kits. I'd been working on getting the car in the shop for the last 2 wks.(the holiday got in the way of the shop having the time) At this point,the part sits in front of me in its box,not yet installed. (If this had been my Chevy,I could've fixed it myself).

    I swear,If the car doesn't pass smog, I'm going to go balistic...insane...after everything it took to get the thing repaired thru the government & the help of my TDK Family here. I don't think I can withstand another setback w/stinking car problems. The junk would be better off at the bottom of a cliff.

  25. Hang in there Susie..You will make it through this!

  26. Calm down and don't borrow trouble. You will face whatever comes your way when it comes. Susie, don't ever forget that it is never too late to be happy. You will get away from your situation and you will find peace. Take it one minute at a time, if you have to, and keep the feet moving step by step in the direction that brings you a better future. Don't look back. Past is past. It can't be undone, but it can be learned from and can act as your guide.

  27. Sending calming energy your way, Susie. Join me in taking a deep breath and relaxing to the sound of a purring kitty (Topaz purrs loudly -- maybe you can hear her in California!) {{{Susie}}}
