Black Men & Stress: Have you ever had a horrible run of BAD LUCK & How did u deal?

Been in a good spot lately...
Not gonna go into detail as I've already discussed it, but here's the update:
I sat my pride aside and moved in with my best friend out on southwest Houston (Missouri City). Buddy essentially has an empty house so I took advantage of the offer. He's on one side of the house, I'm on the other. We're both quiet so there are times we go days without even seeing each other.
I sold all my furniture except for the stuff I plan on taking to my new place and everything else got trashed. He's not charging me rent but I am going to pay the electric bill since it'll be going up with me now there. Most everything i earn is going to debts owed, be it credit cards, loans, or money borrowed. I give myself 2 or 3 months here before getting back out on my own.
Best part about this is I'm much closer to work. My commute went from damn near 1.5 hours one way to 20 minutes. I get home so fast some days that I miss my turn thinking I should still be driving.
I'm not where I want to be but I'm thankful for where I am, for people that step up in my time of need, and the opportunity to keep moving forward.
For me that's the main thing... PROGRESS. I get asked how I've changed my mentality so quickly and maintained a positive attitude thru all the bullshit I've been thru lately and I say to them the same 2 things:
Slow motion is better than no motion, and everyday I wake up I'm another day closer to having all my heart's desires filled.
So that's my advice to anyone going thru the ringer right now. Just keep going bro...
