What a Difference A Day Makes

So to go from hopelessness to too many choices in a 24 hour period is exhausting.

Move? Stay? East? West? Take the family? Leave the family? Change in scenery? Stay put? What to do?

I am so grateful for all the options, but want to be sure and pick the best and right option.

Lots of decisions, lots of prayers, lots of research, lots more prayers.

Thankful for God's faithfulness and trust Him to lead us in the next steps.

Now What?

So, the other shoe may be dropping tomorrow. Really? Now what? They say the recession ended over a year ago. Really? For who? When will people be able to just choose to retire instead of being "shown the door". What does a 50-something year old do when faced with unemployment, no financial cushion? Where will we go? What will we do? My little part-time temporary $15 an hour job, is not going to cut it.

My stomach feels like it might explode. My mind is racing. I have no idea how this is going to work out.

So tomorrow we may hear that after twenty-three years at the same job, it may be over.

Now what?
