God....thank you

I'm seriously beginning to wonder if this land is cursed. You can never get a break here! I'm always combatting something; taking medication and vitamins, putting on coats of sunblock and itching cream, swatting flies, mosquitoes. And just when I think that things are getting better with the rains coming, I now have to watch out for scorpions the size of my hand, porcupines and snakes, who also want to enjoy the cooler weather. How can all of these troublesome things be in one place and then to add the stress of poverty on top of it all? It's not fair. With all the things that I have to deal with each day, I can't help but thank God for giving me life and strength and a better life in America.
