Things Not Has Planned

Today was crazy my wife hurt herself badly, her face and hand all mashed up after taking a face plant while she was out.

She is OK.

My wife is made of pretty tough stuff tough, she only a couple years ago broke her leg in three places and punched a hole in the knee cap.

She had to have rods, pins and a metal plate to fix the leg, after only a little while she was pushing through the pain trying to do everything for everyone.

It is just the way she is, there is absolutely no point arguing with her over it she is a mama bear so best not to poke at things too long.

Tough Times Never Last

Both me and the wife lived on the streets in our younger days for years under different circumstances, we became friends there but never got into a relationship till fate brought us together when we were in our mid twenties several years after we both got off the streets and sorted our lives out a little.

On the streets you learn to take care of yourself and this includes the need to fight others or you will become a victim in the most terrible ways you can imagine.

You have to watch your back always, from other homeless people, petty criminals, weirdos, perverts and believe it or not the general public.

Tough People Do

I will not go into it all to much here right now about the streets but least to say most people did not survive at the times we were there or if they did they may have been lucky to have got off the streets either by some miracle, rehab or prison.

Yes prison was considered an option for some people, they say it is safer than living on the streets.

Anyways some of us are still in contact with each other and we all carry issues from this time, it is what it is i suppose.

But the point is we made it we didn't just survive we surthrived.

We both came out of it my wife managed to find a place and a job eventually to get free.

While i became an entrepreneur, i started on building sites working for my lunch and some daily funds, then once i got housed i started my own window cleaning business then me and my wife Lyndsey reunited as friends that then developed into raising a family together.

4 children and 2 grand children later we are now thriving and it has not been easy but we made it.

The challenge

Anyways the challenge here is to share a quote that helps you on Liketu using the tag #Index4Index

Here is the information

index4indexinformation

Because of what happened today the plans are all out the window for now, gonna try my best to catch up with what i need to do on Hive but family first.

This is a quote that means a lot to me by Robert H Schuller he was an Amercan author, motivational speaker and pastor and was influential for decades.

I don't know much more about him to be honest i just like the quote.

I haven't really used Liketu much to be honest once before about 9 months ago so here goes.

I only managed to complete one of the Larry is Alive tasks today.


For the best experience view this post on Liketu

Thanks Steve much appreciated my friend it is important to hold on to a good mindset especially when we are in a tough situations.

That is the test of who we are, because it is easy to keep a positive mindset when things are good.

It is when darkness falls, we discover if we have what it takes to make it.

To succeed we must overcome 😉

Have a glorious weekend😎💓💪

Oh, wow... Send her my bests, I wish her a speedy recovery.
I stopped using Liketu some time ago as I don't quite like the things being curated the most... Initially I thought it is about great posts with good photographs and then I realized again, too much going on under the hood... I hope I am wrong though :) Anyway... wishing a great day as well!

Thank you @lightcaptured much appreciated my friend will do.
Honestly i have not really looked into Liketu that much i only used it 9 months ago and then for this post.
I need to explore it further really, i believe it is specifically for short content mostly probably trying to be like Instagram but that would be my guess.
!LOL
Have a wonderful weekend

Thank you :) Have a great weekend as well!
I doubt they want to mimic IG here, as one photo and a few words isn't generally appreciated on HIVE, speaking from my experience :)
But there is a limit to post up to ten images per post, the last time I used it.
While the other frontends like Ecency or Peakd have no limitations in that regard :)

You are welcome have a greatest one, yeah i dunno all i know is some people are saying it is for short content posts i guess as Hive grows in members it will attract people that like that kind of thing too.
At the end of the day it will be down to what consumers of content want.

Let's see if they put in a straight and simple way what type of content they expect from the users posting from their frontend ;)

I hope your wife makes a swift and complete recovery.

Your story is quite inspirational and it's good to see you taking up the Index4Index challenge!

I like your quotation and I think it adds something to my post about retreating to gain perspective.

All the best to you both.
