I'm not going to say I can relate but...As I mentioned ealier I lost my brother in 99' to suicide, Lost my 20 year career in 2000, Lost Mom and Dad in 2001 and then relative calm with a few potholes for awhile. Then in late 2009 I had a knock down-throw down with my Boss that got me a 3 day suspension and "be in my office next Wednsday to decide if you still have a job!" I'm thinking just great! I'm 49 years old with marginal eyesight, a mortgage, 2 kids in college, a small business that's doing marginal at best and an indifferent wife that can only do what she wants to do. WTF do I do now? LAST RESORT TIME! I sat down and had a little chat with God. He's always been in my life but I wasn't one to ask for help, I gotter' under control! Wrong! I fretted and fussed for a couple days. Along came Wednsday and with a lot of apprehension and my hat in my hand, I went to the Boss's office. But you know, I had a good feeling about it. I apologized and I was welcomed back with a clear understanding of the road ahead. Here I am now 2 weeks into my new job of first shift supervisor. The wife moved on to greener pastures last March, the oldest graduates in May with his BS and the younger one has settled into a major she likes. I'm scabbing another F-150 ride together because I sure can't afford new and the dog greets me at the door everyday tail wagging. Money? you bet it's an issue! Am I going to let it kill me? NO!!! Do I fret over every problem? A little. But I ask God each minute for his help and it would seem that he is in overtime keeping me stable and sane. If you let the money people dictate your life, they will. You let God dictate your life he certainly will and he will also give you good sense in dealing with the money people. It really sounds like you need to step back and decide if it's 308 million other people in this country that have a problem, or if it's you. Most people that have known me for any length of time have stated that they've not seen me at peace with myself until just lately. I'm off my soap box now!
