(15,220 posts)I have been down. Been out of work for a year now, and saw an opportunity yesterday morning that excited me. I immediately made the required application online, as well as emailed the principle of the company who Ive known for years expressing an interest and listing my qualifications...only to get a response that the position had been filled hours before. It was just a gut punch. Another in a long list of disappointments. I barely made it through the day.
Last night, I was blindly watching YouTube videos. You know, just scrolling and watching whatever came up. I watched a Max Lucado short video and it seemed to be relevant to me. Long and short of it, look up the word peripeteia.
We all are in need of a moment where the story changes, where we get a rebound, a second chance. We need some good.
I just went through the Texas ice storm. Without power for over 30 hours, and I was one of the lucky ones. But I was telling my sister yesterday, that although I am eternally grateful to have made it through that and other things of late, that Im really weary and tired of good only being the lack of bad. There was a time in my life when there was good. A nice surprise once in a while. A nice outcome.
I want that back.
