Posted: Mar 17, 08 9:18am If someone would have told me six months ago that I was about to be divorced, lose my father suddenly to a brain aneuris...  This is the universe telling you....stop, take a break, it's time to regroup. Everything happens for a reason. You have been through alot in a very short period of time. Better things are coming your way. The big question I have....who is your OTHER friend? Fess up Uncle!!!

Time for confessions????... Hi, Uncle Spencer. You don't know me, but i've been communicating off and on, on tbd, for about 5 mos, and both Jaki and spuff, those sometimes wildly funny tbders, are also my tbd,"friends". What you have experienced in the past 6 mo. or so, sounds almost unbelievably painful. Yet, your optimistic spirit is shining through, in which you are stating that your belief in, and reliance on God, and your close friends, has enabled you to be courageous and hopeful through it all. I, too, have had many painful losses, surgeries, and disappointments in the past several years, that I'm not going to go in to. However, I am learning to focus on daily gratitude, and all of my many blessings, esp. my dear, 29-year husband, daughter, and son. As far as finding a new job/career, you seem to have very marketable skills, with your writing, BA, MBA, people skills, etc. Have you considered phoning/approaching your area newspaper staffs for newpaper/ journalism work, or tried the popular online job post called,"Craig's List", and/ or considered placing ads, listing your job/education qualifications,etc., in local publications? Sometimes networking in local chat rooms can lead to available jobs, also. One of our talented townsmen found tons of work, by placing ads in our local papers, that he would do handyman, odd-job, house/yard jobs! Senior citizens, widows, widowers etc., and retirement community folks especially need this type of assistance.You might also have Amish, and others, in your area, who pay to have drivers transport them to areas that their buggies can't reach. I wish you the luck 'O the Irish, on this St. Patrick's Day, Uncle Spencer, and then some, to stay strong, focused, and motivated, and hopefully, something will eventually come through for you!

Spuff and Jaki - Of course I was talking about you guys. You're awesome!! You know I love you...And you're right, Spuff, I do need to take some time first and am going to do that. Southerbl - Thanks for your kind words and suggestions, all good ideas. | ADVERTISEMENT  |
