Feeling a bit caged.

It is almost March 2012. It still feels like 2011 with all the frustration, waiting, hopes dashed repeatedly, scrimping, saving. 


So tired of it. 


It gets harder and harder for me to stave off being depressed. 


Good news PLEASE! Substantial good news. Again however I am not holding my breath. 

Will it be this month...

I am fairly sure I speak for a lot of folks in the US who struggle each day with keeping their hopes up... believing this time will be different... today they will actually get that job, or that call back or a pay raise back to somewhere close to where they were before the recession. Maybe they'll be able to afford medical insurance again. Maybe they can pay their rent or mortgage regularly without difficulty sometime... sooner than later. 

For our family, we are at one of those points where a couple of good things could happen... or they could fall through yet again. They could even happen but not turn out to be all that helpful financially. But for now, I'm still trying. I will send in that writing sample, hope for that position to become permanent at a reasonable (higher than the temp pay) salary. I will try to believe that within 30 days, things just might be incrementally better. And you? 

I was so hopeful that 2012 would start off with a bang! That our troubles would be swept under the carpet with a grand hiring at good pay and things would miraculously get back to pre-recession goodness. But alas that was not to be. January 2012 was a redux of every month in 2011. And now we are at February with new promise and hope. Will it get better this month or will we have to look at March? 

Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be. The future's not ours to see. Que sera, sera. Living it. Stay tuned. Check back in. I may just write a post on the power of positive thinking... if I can keep it up and if anything comes of it. ;-)
