Things that make me go HUUUMMMM

I was up and at the gym by 8:15am this morning ~ It feels good to work out I have to lose 25lbs before the wedding but I'm hoping for 35.  Its so hard to not eat and be depressed after losing my job on Friday.  I hate starting over after 7 years but that company was not where I wanted to be the rest of my life and I was planning to leave after the wedding anyway.  I just need the money and insurance especially 6 months before the wedding.  It always seems to be something, I finally have everything I have ever wanted in life and something happens to make me sad or upset.  I'm trying really hard not to let this get me down or in a funk because I cannot change it.  I have found alot of job postings thanks to help from friends and they are starting out at more then I was making at Lincare after 7 years.  That is good news now I just hope they call me ~ I have not been on a job interview in a LOOONNNGG time I dont know what to say but I will figure it out.  So I have been spending the past few days ~ cleaning ~ doing laundry ~ going to the gym ~  and trying to NOT to over eat.  Yesterday was a bad day but so far today I'm doing good. 
Last night Tracy called me with some upsetting news ~ A good friend of ours that we have known since our soccer days is very ill.  He is very special and important to all of us in our own way.  He has been a friend for over 10 years and besides being extremely handsome and talented he is a loving, sweet and gentle man.  My heart breaks that he is suffering and will continure to suffer.  There is no cure for ALS as I have found through doing research and to think we may never get to see him again makes me sick.  He lives across the country so to see him anytime soon is damn near impossible.  I would give anything to hop a plane and spend sometime with him before his illness progresses.  I pray for the Lord to touch him and not let him suffer. 
Things happen like this and it makes no sense to me AT ALL!!!!  Why do good people suffer and mean , rotten people succeed?  I don't understand  ~ people like Scott Peterson who killed his beautiful wife and unborn son are still alive and walk and breathe the same air as the rest of us but wonderful amazing people like Debbie ~ Elly etc who could make a difference in this world are gone.  I know we all have a life plan I just don't understand why some peoples have to be so much harder then others.  At night these are the things that go through my head and I want answers ~  Please keep my friend in your prayers xoxo
