Hi friends! The third time is the charm, as the say! I have had a very rough week — one of those where things get broken and stolen and all efforts to set things to rights fail. And it’s only Tuesday!
I found this image and fell in love with it immediately because it is the picture that says a thousand words, and captures exactly how I feel at this moment.

That said, I know this is a temporary situation, and that things will get better, and that focusing on what is going wrong has never fixed anything.
One of my greatest life lessons came from my 5th grade teacher, Sister Dolores. She was one of the kindest and most genuine people I ever met in my childhood, and was a true inspiration to me. She taught us the word “persevere,” and told us to always remember that word and its power to help us through any situation. I would love to tell her how many times it has helped me in my life!
So, what all happened that got me thinking about this? Well my Steem account got hacked and my credit card was hacked and I have tried twice (after setting and fixing all passwords) to post via Actifit without success, and I still can’t get to Steem through Steemit. That’s all.
So I may have fixed my Actifit issues, but the only way of knowing is to write a post and attempt to post it and cross my fingers that I don’t get that error again! Here goes!

Sister Dolores was right.
You will get through this. You are a hardy northerner who walks in the freezing weather for fun. You got this!
Thanks @joebrochin! That made me laugh. For now I’m getting to know Busy and Steempeak better! There is always a silver lining.
Calm down, sister. You'll know how to get the stones out of the way. Trust yourself and persevere with peace of mind.
Thank you for the encouragement, @antoniarhuiz! ❤️
Nowhere to go but up! Hoping your week brightens up like the weather has.
Indeed! And I shall look forward to that!
Dang your credit card too?

Sister Dolores was a wise woman. I hope everything gets straightened out for you soon @jayna.
