Ginnie ... surround yourself with some positive energy here and arm yourself with some positive resources to fall back on.

I recently "lost" my 3rd job in less than 2 years... I'm 57... and thankfully live in a country where I can reach out for help - I'm was/am amazed to discover there is financial aid should I need it.

Those thoughts went on the back burner and gave me some spirit to "fight" my fight ...

It has taken time.

Every story is different.
But its worth a try to pull some hope and understanding out of someone elses' story.

I really really miss Nik-key and Curious, too
