Life has truly been a dance for me the last few years.

To make a long story short. In 2010, I got a divorce I did not see coming. I had nowhere to go and very little money saved. I moved home. It killed me to have to do so. I was sick and had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia a year before.

I was lost and hopeless. I started a new career and this led me back to school to work on my passion skin care and makeup. I obtained my esthetic license in 2012. I decided that I had made it that far so I should finish my degree. I just obtained my cosmetology instructors certification and A.A.S in management last week.

I was happy and the dance got me temporarily. I went to lunch with a friend and met up with her friend who offered me a job last Friday. What? It was supposed to be lunch. We left and I was amazed nothing like this happens to me.

I went inside her townhome  just for five minutes and a lady side swiped my car with a 28 ft U-haul truck. I was calm strangely. She eventually left the scene before the police came. So I had to deal with that as well. I had to leave my car. I have never left my car like that. I know it sounds stupid.

I got home with the help of a good friend and to pick up a rental car the next day. I was assured my car would be a the shop Monday. Monday comes and I go to the shop no car it is missing.

This happens after I had been at the IRS to find out about the fraud with my taxes that has been going on since Feb. I was one of the people who had my identity stolen. After waiting in line for 30 minutes  (this is my third time there since Feb. with no answers to when I get my money back)

I am still calm after all this. The lady helping me takes care of everything and ask how the rental is? I explain it is horrible and dirty.

She even gets that straight and a new car. I say all this to say I ended the day having dinner with my best friend and know that in this dance of life I have much to be grateful for even with all the adversity.
