Re: SSD=life below poverty level in my case..BUT Thank GOD 4 the USA..

[Guest guest]

Thank you , you gave me some encouragement. I have been on zero income for

7 months now. I've got lawyers and everything filed. Only 'income' I have

right now is food stamps. I've been paying the rent and utilities with money

from my 401k. Since the markets have tanked; my 401k is way smaller than it

was; which means we'll run out of money a lot sooner than we should have.

But I'm here. We're getting by.

The thing is; I'm happier than I've been in forever!

The point of my ramble is that hope is what gets you through. I started out

worrying myself sicker; literally; 24/7. But now I just take it a day at a

time; and each month we get thru without too much problem is a victory. Next

month is next month. OK so I generally do get a little anxious around the

first of the month; but not like I used to.

SSD=life below poverty level in my case..BUT Thank GOD 4 the

USA..

So what !!! Years ago after a divorce I became homeless,Yet I walk w/self

respect and Dignity to soup line to soup line. It was only a passing phase of my

life and I've become able to thank the LORD for those hard times. Be thankfull

for all things w/Faith that (YES) tomorrow is the reason my HOPE.

It has been said that hope is a dangerous thing. Do any of you remeber

Freemans character in

Shawshank redemption,, when Red beacame angry w/Andy regarding Andys reference

to HOPE?

I have never felt poor. I have a closet full of Tommy & Ralph and nevermind who

paid the MSRP !!

What is life w/out hope???? Mere existence that's all. Live w/HOPE for

Tomorrow!!!! !!!!!

The MAN

& not self made

I have never GOD grant me the serenityto accept the things I

cannot change the courage to change the things I canand the wisdom to know the

difference. Amen ! ! !

" So What " ! I'm homeless. This will not be a passing phase in my life,

as long as I have something to say about it! I made the Choice to

reach out my hand for Help. Because I too have, as you say, " Self-

Respect/Dignity. Sherry in Arkansas
