Down but not out

March 11th, 2009 at 08:42 pm

Wow, 6 months since I last blogged. It has been a rough 6 months. I have been sick and in pain and had to spend a wad of my savings on house renovations. I'm beginning to think I shall never achieve my dream of being financially independent. I've even been on anti- depressants. Gimme a virtual hug, someone.

Never mind, I'm not going to stay stuck in misery. I'm still a lot better off than many folks in these tough times. I figger the bright side is there'll be fewer employers wanting full time, but more demand for p/t and casual staff. I should be able to pick something up. In the meantime, i am honing my skills of telling the difference between wants and needs. Plus I'm still able to put $10 a week into my Kiwisaver.

    Tina, your blog and your postings are what first drew me to this site. I have been missing your presence and am really sorry you have being down these past 6 months.

    But I am glad you're back again, and am looking forward to your posts, as always. We are here to support you, no matter what.

    Hugs from me, too. I saw your Laceshawl name in the menu just now and had to *click*. Glad to see you. I bet you are right about more PT jobs being available.

    Big virtual hug! Things can seem overwhelming at times. Many of us here have been down in the dumps and so we can empathise.

    Things will get better. Believe it and live it. Set your goals and make a plan. Then look out world!

    Keep blogging! It is good to vent and to hear from others for ideas and/or support.

    Very glad you are back, been checking for your posts, but have been in bed too the last few and not felt much like looking at anything.
