Things aren't falling into place as I'd hoped...

Slowly but surely. That's what I keep thinking but to tell the truth, I'm a little disappointed that things aren't going the way I'd planned so far this month. I'd hoped by now that I'd be seeing some gain from my efforts but nothing so far. I'm still hopefull though as there are still 15 days left in this month. So what about you. How are your plans coming along?

I find that things don't work out a lot exactly as I thought they would. I tend to have few expectations these days though. The future cannot be known, so I just do my best in the present time for a favourable outcome and then just leave it in the "lap of the gods". .:-)

So true. :-) But sometimes you do pray that things would go exactly your way...just this one time!! Its taking some doing but I am learning...very slowly and painfully that I DO need to release everything into the hands of my much more capable Higher Power.

Yes, as Buddha discovered in his enlightenment.. "desire is the root of suffering", I take that to mean that if we can stop desire and just accept things as they are, we will experience peace and contentment. :-)

I am not sure what sites that you are talking about But I have learned that making money on the internet is not easy. I have many online stores that I have had for about 5 months now and have never made a dime yet from them but I still keep going with them because someday you never know what will happen. I only site that I am making any knid of money from is here at MyLot. Please keep your chin up and things will get better soon.

It seems as though everything is slow right now as far as money is concerned. I do think that it is about the right time of the year for ebay sales to be picking up and I am thankful for that. However, it is also about the time that I will be spending more. HAHA!! Good Luck and hang in there. I am sure that things will pick up for you.
