My Husband Found A Job! Thank you God and thank you to all my Buddyslim Pals!

Yes it happened!  He finally got a job today and starts Wed!

Thank you God!  Thank you for hearing me when I was soooo down.  Thank you for the blessing you gave us!

Thank you to all my Buddyslim pals that responded to my last blog.  So many of you reached out and shared your experiences and feelings and you tried to lift me up.  One poster even said she didn’t have advice but wanted to say my situation sucked and that made me laugh because it was true.  lol.  Many people reached out to me through email to say they would pray for me or just wanted to check on me.  What a wonderful wonderful feeling.   Thank you all.

It has a been a low few months.  There have been some highs and then some low lows.  There were times my husband and I were allies and times we let each other have it.   Now, we can move on and be hopeful. 

Oh, did I tell you?  There are times that I even surprised myself.  I was going through this low period and somewhere inside of me I found the courage to take a couple of salsa lessons.  Something I always wanted to do.  I joined a salsa meetup group and I took my first lesson the other day and then took another one at a little club.  Funny how you can go through a bad period and then do something outside your norm simply for the heck of it.  I’m too depressed to clean my house but I’ll take salsa lessons?  Ha ha!  

This year has been real funny for me.  I’ve never done so many different things this year and at the same time there was a low period.  Ahh, what life throws us.

I’m going to enjoy this weekend even more.  Some friends, my hubby and I are going camping.  When I get back, it’s back to work on losing this weight and being a better buddy again.  A friend invited me to join her 5K team for a race in November.  I didn’t want to sign up for it at first because I didn’t know where I would be in November or how I would feel if my hubby was still out of work.   Now, I will join.  Fo shizzle! 

Thanks again for all your support, stories and prayers!  I only wish good things for all of you.  I don’t want anyone to be in that sad lonely place I was in.  It’s not a good place to be.
