I know it's all the "real" world. Being out of work and at home kind of let me separate myself from reality. It is a much better idea to be back to work. I'm not to good and keeping my mind busy enough on my own. This is aside from the money. We need money to navigate through the modern world. Personally I don't want to be 'about' money in my life. I have often said that if I were a millionaire, I wouldn't be one for long. I would spread the money around. I enter the occasional sweepstakes, If I won one I can't imagine going nuts on anything. A basic home, a second, maybe a very basic 2nd car. All debt paid off, maybe a weekend trip here and there. The rest I think we would do the most good we could. Paul says he would continue to work. He likes his job. I have only been on my job one day, I don't know if I would continue there.(and I prayed so hard for it) I do know that I am done with sitting at home doing nothing. I probably would be doing volunteer work and maybe go to school. But until the Publisher's Clearing House van shows up, I am so happy with my new situation. I am not even going to ask for it to be permanent yet. I am happy.
We are not out of the woods yet, but I can see us on the path heading toward the light on the other side. We have been doing some interesting things to get money. Even without needing cash, Paul has been going through his music and games to get rid of stuff he doesn't play any more and for things that may not be the best for him. We have been working for a while now on removing things from our lives that do not feed our souls, or feed our souls negative things. I finally found a box of my music. A lot of it is wonderful stuff with a lot of sentimental feelings, but I haven't even seen the stuff in five years. Off it went to Rasputin's to be sold. A few weeks ago I gave up a set of Garth Brooks video DVDs in a tin collector's box. It was a wonderful thing and a gift from Paul. But, we need food and gas. On this go round Garth's greatest hits CD went. Keep in mind that just about anything ever recorded can be found on U-tube. On the way to sell this last grouping of CDs Paul and I got singing some of the songs. We both agreed that we loved the song "Friends in low places" I thought about that song for a moment. I realized I had a lot of fun living the words to that song in my life a long time ago. I thought a little more about how my life is now. I had to change the words to: "I got friends in high places, where the Holy water and the prayer chases my blue away..." My apologies to Garth. Or maybe I should say "My blessings to him"
Paul's parents paid the phone bill again. We are truly grateful. We paid the mortgage, with the use of a Payday loan. Those loans are not economically sound, but they can save your neck when timing isn't on your side. My first paycheck is about 10 days away which should be in time for the rent (we are still praying) and we have $7 to our name. I think that will go into the gas tank to get me to and from work for the next week and a half. I can see the future. there is hope, and there is happiness.
Peace, Joy, Love, Happiness and a financially comfortable occupation to you all.
