Not sure why I want to write this. Its really too personal. Its been the roughest year of my life. But I seem to have this drive from somewhere deep down inside. I keep my head down and keep trying to survive and move forward. I lost my job last year and almost gave up on my thirty year career of helping others. Just didnt seem worth it anymore. The last year saw two thirds of our income gone. Living on so little really eats away at your soul. Ive been trying to help this new business (thats not mine) get started. Not sure if itll ever return for us. My health took a dive off the deep end. Im sure related to the stress. An aunt died whom I treasured, and then my mom died of Alzheimers disease. We were financially unable to really have an appropriate service. No time off at all, couldnt afford it. But thats nothing new. We havent had anything representative of a vacation for years. I havent been able to really spend any quality time with my family. The bright spot is that we have a new beautiful grand daughter that we did get to visit for a very short period. Like most parents our kids are grown and live far away. I guess we still do count our blessings. I have a wonderful companion and a couple of good friends that continue to be there, if even far away. So Ill keep trying to move forward, my head down and plow onward. I recognize that so many have it so much worse and i am grateful to God for what I do have.
