It's getting difficult to keep up with my live journal. So many things happening all at once. Aside from taking care of my kids and my parent's. I'm now unemployed. After 15 yrs of devoting my time to the placed i once worked in...they let me go..just like that. I'm not happy with the way when about it ....it was more like,(January 29 was my last day at work)...Here's your pay, Here's your W2...and i have to let you go..cos i can't afford you any more. It only prove to me...that devotion is here today..and gone tomorrow.
Soon after that, I called unemployement....and wont see a check til the end of February. My income tax will hold me thru, thank God for that.
It feel weird, knowing that i'm out of a job. Since the age of 17..i have been working all this time...(several different jobs of cos) til now.
I'm not used to it. In fact, i'm a bit depressed about it...however, not letting any one see my feelings or emotions.
I know sometimes things happen for a reason...as to what it is...i'm not sure. Yet I know, eventually...it will unfold and the questions will soon be answer.
But anyways....Que sera, sera
Yesterday Valentine's Day, turned out a bit different...Not that i have a gentlemen in my life nor do i wish for one....I have to much on my plate to actually add another one. However, I know Valentine's Day, is a day that many single people get all bend out of shape. The fact of the matter is...not everyone wish to be alone in life...and granted i know that feeling quite well. However, my point of view are different, I figure, why cry over spill milk. Why not make the best out of it. I took it upon myself, while shopping on valentines day, to buy my own chocolate treat. As i see it...Valentine is suppose to be for the one you love...so not only do i love my precious girls...i also love myself. Therefore the three of us...had a Chocolate Delight treat. *smiles*
I also came up with the idea...for the group i talk to online (our prayer Group)..to come up with a poem...written by each and everyone of them. I figure many in our Group are single. Therefore i truly wanted them to have a special day too. We agree to show each other our poems...and i must say...some were funny, other's were sweet, but all in all...they were all beautiful and by beautiful i mean...how they actually took the time...to write a poem...even though they never written a poem before...yet they took the time to share a poem they had written for the very first time. I sure hope, they will continue to write poems. When it was time for me to show my poem....some one turn around and said * very metaphorical*. I was baffer, not knowing what that meant. This is what my poem for Valentine's Day was:
This stone you see before your eyes
It's me within a cold disguise
Behind these walls
That stand so tall
A heart still yearn to take new flight
Awaiting for some hope, A light
Within the wind that blows all throught the night
I wish I can, i wish i could
to break the walls
within this book
yet I know the story is not complete
til my ship, my sail
come crashing at my shore
And so i wait
within these walls
For words that ride the ocean waves
My Ship will dock upon the shore
to bring me home where i belong
Waiting to be kissed
upon his tender lips
A Valentine surely
full of bliss
and there you have it....The positive out come of all this is....they were intrique by something new in their life....so we agreed...that each week we will all post a new poem...on different topics in life.
All i did was smiles, knowing Their Valentine's day, was a special one.
All i did...was opened up a gate, a portal to a side they have never seen before.
