i had a pretty good talk with my friend Ed earlier over breakfast. I was able to let go on him thoughts of my current situation. I could never thank him enough for listening to me like that. It was a relief on my part. I actually realized that whatever i feel now is nothing compared to what others had gone through. They were still able to make it in one piece so why would i not be able to make it in mine? It seems i have not yet mastered the art of problem solving despite dealing with various math problems over 5 years in engineering school. Yes it is different from life problems and this is just a start, well at least I'm learning.

So anyway this one little tip my friend gave me in that great conversation we had is this, write down any problems, whether it's financial or whatever, writing it all down makes the problem more visible rather than just having it floating all over your head. I did it and it was a heck of a lot helpful. This is an age old advice, i know, and has been sold and resold but we always need a little push & reminder every now & then. I'm just caring to share. Try it, it helps.
