Starting Over

Three years ago I had a good job, a new car, a good life and not a care in the world.  Then I lost my job and my insurance.  Seriously!?!  So seriously!?!  I got depressed.  I took to my bed and I slept and slept for months.  Then slowly but surely my mind started to rebel against what I was doing.  I started coming back to reality.

The reality was that I was 54 years old with no education to speak of and I had to start over.  I had to survive.  I had to invent a new lifestyle and and I had to be a survivor.  I took a long, hard look at the life I had and thought of ways I could eliminate, cut back, repurpose and evolve into a sleeker, more efficient lifestyle.  I had to look for resources that I had never even thought of before.  I had to think of ways to make a few dollars.  I had to come up with ways to keep my mind healthy.  I have many, many things that I need to do.

Come along with me and keep me company, share your thoughts and ideas with me, help keep me focused on the task at hand.  Walk with me as I work through this labyrinth with the hope that when I find my way to the other side my life will continue to be blessed.  Sit with me when I feel the need to rest, rejoice with me in my happiness and accompany me on my journey.

It's a bit scary at times.  Sometimes I feel like I can't do one more thing.  Sometimes I feel like I can't do enough.  I need to talk about what is going on, what I should do, how I should handle this or that.  It's a lonely road.  It's an humbling road, a strengthening road and sometimes it seems like a never-ending road.  Keep me company, if you can, I truly would appreciate it.
