Well that is a bit of good news, buys you a bit of time and then hopefully some sort of relief until you get back on your feet. A little hope isn’t too much to ask for. Sorry I wasn’t around last night, we went out for a while last evening. A bit spur of the moment. Which is how I tend to do things, difficult to plan ahead. Today I helped hubby do some christmas cooking. Meat pies that we freeze. Now I am taking a break before packing. I’m going out of town tonight to spend time with a friend. I’ll be missing groups tonight as well. Short trip, I’ll be back late tomorrow. That has to be most difficult for you, feeling left out of the Christmas season, left out of life at the moment. Thankfully your children are doing ok and your grandchildren will receive from their parents. I guess we ***** our blessings where we have them.

I’m think of a term I’ve heard kicked around. Marginalized members of society. You will not allow yourself to stay there as long as there is fight in you. I wish you good health for when your opportunity presents. Hopefully before any forced bankruptcy! I also know that you will help others in your own time. There are many who cannot escape their fate due to factors beyond their control that will not change.

Right now my income and ability to work in the future are in doubt. My disability doesn’t maintain my previous life style. There will be changes in the New Year. I’ve lost many of my career opportunities due to my disabilities and surgeries. Now I will lose more. Life doesn’t seem fair. But I don’t know if that is what this is all about. Thanks for pondering of the deeper issues and your perspective as you have studied scripture. Remind me to tell you the discussion I had with a priest once about forgiveness. He had a very good answer for my question I thought.

Congratulations!!! and well done on 120 days, 4 months is amazing. You are amazing. You ask when things will change or progress, but is that not progress? If you had a good job right away would you have gone back to the same cycle possibly? Sometimes we don’t get what we want we get what we need? Just some food for thought or discussion.

I’m so happy for you getting a spot in the program! Slowly like grains of sand through an hour glass, your successes will add up. Stay strong Monica!! And thanks again for your support.
