WAIT ! The Patient Still Shows Signs Of Life !

Though I wrote the last blog

almost as soon as I got the call

about losing my only paying job,

I didn't give up, and I continued

to fight for every chance I thought

I had to muster more work.

Today....at the end of the day

I look back and see my Brother

has 4 houses for me to wash

with him an hour and a half away...

with my last money in my gas tank.

Then, I got a house to help finish

painting Saturday for $12.50 an hour,

and some paintings to hang Sunday

for an elderly freind of mine that will

pay a small fee...Bless her Heart!

Then...Monday I have the local

diner to paint for a Greek aquaintance

who I dont really like communicating

with, but I'm bearing it.

Also, I've found a lead company called

http://www.findmealocalpainter.com

that will send me 10 to 15 leads a

month for $35 apiece!

I just have to get liability insurance

at $305 to start and $35 to start

the leads coming, and then the

ball's in my court!

Amen People!

You know, when I got the call....

a thought came across my mind,

that the Universe had something

else for me instead of the job

I thought I had......

and as I went through the day...

I saw the proof of my faith and

I became more and more confident

that Everything Was Going To Be

Alright! 

As a matter of fact.....there's a

documentary on the TV about

9/11, and I realize that bad things

can and do happen to everybody,

randomly and worldwide.

Everything doesnt have to be

hunky dorey for me does it?

I guess it's not what happens,

but how I react and how much

"chin" I keep up, and Gratitude

I have for what I already have.

I feel sorry for my cat, whose

health could be better if I had

more money, and who will get

relief from me ASAP! I look at

her coming to greet  me when

I come in, and I feel so badly that

I might let her down and have to

return her to the kennel where

I got her.

I have Love for each and every 

one that stops, cares, and shares

support and heart with me.

I appreciate it VERY MUCH !
