Love Filled Shoes

It honestly sounds like a movie title but this is true life. My husband and I possibly have eight more weeks to live in our apartment. We can thank the economy and other factors for that. Mostly because there are just not enough high school graduate jobs out there. When a person lives in the silicon valley its almost as if it’s Baccalaureate degree or bust. At times even those with Baccalaureate degrees go bust.

I’m really hoping for the best. I’m praying is some way that we both find employment or that one of us finds employment to pay all the bills. It’s not that we are not looking for employment. I did an estimate and it looks like both Michael and I put in nearly 400 resumes each month that we are unemployed. It’s just a very hard market out there for the employee.

At times I feel that my weight and health condition has a lot to do with the financial and employment struggle that we are dealing with today. I know that if I had a thinner body, companies would be more apt to hire me. Why? I guess companies think that thinner people will be able to do the bending, filing, and movements longer than a larger person would. I also know that if I had a thinner body then I would be able to fit into the free office clothing that the organizations and churches would give out.

Thank God that tomorrow is a new day and that I can forgive myself for messing up so badly. I am able to take the steps forward towards losing the weight, obtain office clothes, obtain employment, and obtain a better education so that I have a smaller chance of unemployment happening again.
