For As Long As It Takes
~ By Sue ~

With each step I take forward
I take two steps back again
Struggle is my middle name
But, I remember where I have been

There are days I would like
Just to give up on everything
The anger builds deep inside
It just seems I can not win

I had a job, then it shut down
Just when things were going good
Still, I hang onto some hope
And try to do what I should

No matter how rough it is on me
I will never go back to him
I will struggle for as long as it takes
Until I get back on my feet again

Hey Sue  

I'm so glad to see you here. I worry about you and miss you when I don't. E-mail me sometimes when you can't come on here, if you can. Okay?

I'm sorry about your job ending, but my sweet friend, there will come another one. You have proven to yourself and everyone else, what a fighter you are. You will make it, sweet Lady......without going back, too!!

Hugs to you, friend  
Ethel

Holy crap, we have the same life.  I joke all the time that I have a black cloud over my head.  And I thought I got rid of the blackness when I divorced..

Keep your chin up. I have been in this boat myself...it can be frustrating...but the sea is a big place, and it resides inside of you.

Sorry about the job Sue...
But you will make it!
You're getting stronger every day.
Excellent write.
