CONTRIBUTE: Your Own Stories

What things have happened in your life that seemed terrible and depressing at the time, but that you eventually came to realize were blessings in disguise?

Was there a failed relationship you thought you would never recover from, only to realize years later that it was a good thing? Did you lose a job or not get a job you’d applied for, only to get a better one a month later?

Did you get turned down for a loan on a house, and then find out that the new owners of the house regretted buying it because it needed more repairs than they originally thought?

Tell us about your blessings in disguise. Send us your letters and high-quality photos (no photocopies, please; send appropriate-sized SASE with adequate postage for return of your photos) by January 1 to CAPPER'S, Heart of the Home, 1503 S.W. 42nd St., Topeka, KS 66609-1265. Or, e-mail your stories and photos to editor@Cappers.com.
