Thanksgiving Day, and I am full of praise to the One who has held me through this year. A year ago, I was facing an impending layoff in December with no job to fall into. We're a single income of 5, with 3 young children. Without a job, we lost our house before I finally found work as a testing contracting.
We actually now have a nicer home and a better job than the ones that were lost, and I have found meaning in my life in my writing. In December, I will be starting a full time job to replace my contracting one (the 4th job in a year and a week), and two of my short stories will be published in the Ménage-à-20 anthology, put together by Goodreads authors.
I thank the Lord for all that he has given me, for my family, a roof over my head, and food on the table. May we all have a blessed holiday.
Loving, living, writing, art, family, friends, music, and books. Us and our small corner of the world. Because, as we all know, the world is square. For only a square world has corners.
Good grief Rita!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you had to go through all that rubbish, but I'm extremely glad to see that everything has turned out alright.
Keep on writing!
PS - in the unlikely event you find yourself in Ottawa, Canada, do pop by for some tea and biscuits!
