Some days are worse than others and some just down right suck. I can't promise these will inspire, but hopefully knowing someone else has been there, will comfort. Struggling with Unemployment.
Objective: Get out of bed
It
started like any other day. The sun rose, the birds chirped, the dogs
barked, the morning air was fresh. I half expected Mr. Rogers to open my
bedroom door and burst into “it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”.
So when the mailman showed up it was just in keeping with the theme.
Until, that is, I inspected the mail a little closer. Let’s see, bill,
bill, thank you note from church I attended with invite to come back
(not likely, they were weird), bill and ah, why yes, a bill. And just
like that my glorious morning turned gloomy.
While
unemployment generally sucks, every day isn’t the same. Some days
you’ll awake ready to conquer the universe. Some you’ll be quiet and
reflective. On others you’ll busy yourself with chores, and the sense of
accomplishment that comes from a clean house will minimize the
rejection you feel from an empty in-box. There are days of despair,
loneliness and confusion. Days of optimism, faith and hope.
And
then, there are days like today. When going back to bed and starting
over seems the only sensible option. Apologies to those who were
expecting some profound note of wisdom, today I have none. I’m going
back to bed and to sleep. I’ll try again tomorrow. We’ll go hunting together then. Promise.
