Being Kind...

Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

— Philo of Alexandria

One of the hardest things for me

other than

an unknown future

is

what many many people in North America

struggle with.

Mothers alone with their young children

Men and women in jobs,

overworked and isolated

the poor begging on the street:

so many are alone

lonely.

I struggle with this a lot.

Where I am in is full of ironies.

I dream of volunteering, but either am learning a new job,

which is very tiring,

or I am waiting to know what my next job is,

and feel that I cannot commit or would not want to start something

that I cannot continue.

Perhaps my thinking to some will seem faulty

but it is how things feel to me.

I am thankful that today I can go to good friends house

and work on job searching

while they work on various projects around the house.
