Feeling a little better

So, I'm feeling a bit better this morning. Yesterday, I was pretty emotional and my spirits were down because I feared losing everything. I still do, in fact, fear that I'll lose everything. Back in 2013 I lost my job because I was sick from asthmatic attacks that kept putting me in the hospital. And I lost everything. I ended up staying with a family member for almost a year while I looked for employment to no avail. Eventually, I moved in with my mom to help her out, but felt so guilty that I didn't have a job at that time. One year later, I found employment as a paper carrier for the Tribune Carrier and delivered newspapers for 14 years, making anywhere between $700 to over a $1000 every two weeks. It was honestly good money, though the job was hard on the car and I ended up losing a lot of sleep. But the bills were paid. Over time my mom, who also made good money. I rebuilt my life and we took very good care of our animals. And now I'm struggling again to find work. I'm still going to keep applying to jobs and hope for the best. Fingers crossed, right? At any rate, I hope this better mood lasts for a while. I'm tired of crying.

I hope you can find the right job for you. As for me, it was my personal goal. But then, the idea will be delayed due to family matters.

Everything will be alright. You'll find a job soon. I waited 4 years before i get permanently employed in the government. it was my biggest dream, I always pray to God. there were times that i cry to God begging him to get me a job in the government.
