I was angry.
I am angry, still.
Early yesterday morning, I was awakened to the blare of tornado sirens. Again. Dammit!
I had spent a stress-filled week wading through fake/scam job listings. Again. Dammit!
So, there I lay, exhausted, irritated. Only to be awakened by stupid tornado sirens. I hid in the bathroom. Again. Dammit!
The tornado struck. Again. On 13th street. I live on 12th. There was damage. Again. Dammit!
Thankfully, my power was not among the 5,000 who are without power again. Shamefully, I am thankful I missed the second go around of no power.
I told my wombie that I was NOT going to use this latest awfulness to write and encourage folk. I told sis I was NOT going to write at all. I told sis I was turning off my phone and getting off the world. I told sis I was done caring about a world who could care less about me.
The other day, I reached out to an organization that helped folks and asked for help. I received a form letter lamenting my hardship but they were taking a break from helping folk. I would be considered if they got back to considering folk. Dammit!
None of my friends called to wish me a Happy birthday. Dammit!
The newest tornado had me feeling helpless. The lack of job options had me feeling hopeless. The lack of birthday greetings left me feeling embarrassed.
I took all of those feelings to bed with me. I turned off my phone…
A funny thing happened on the way to my pity party. Good habits told me to get up. My try told me to keep my promise to myself. The Universe asked me not to give up yet.
I turned on my phone. I wrote. I encouraged. I stood on my FAITH. I made a meal and had my me time of coffee and watching an old show.
I’m doing all I can do. I’m also trying to do a little bit more. I have NO idea what my future holds. I DO know my future does NOT hold quit. Not by me.
Stay encouraged, beloveds. Even when hard gets extra hard. Keep doing what you can and wait for your change to come. The time will pass no matter what you do. You may as well continue to learn/grow during the tough times.
