Worries

I'm sitting here at work on a formerly furlough Friday to read about the Governor's recent order. Federal minimum wage for all state workers. This equivalates to $1227 before taxes for our monthly salary which is well, well, well below what Geoff and I are used to.

I am stressed.

I am angry.

I am disappointed.

I am super, duper stressed. Did I mention that already??

I know there are loans with low interest rates and, luckily, we have very supportive family and friends but that doesn't really ease the sick feeling I have in my stomach. I hate feeling like a pawn in some stupid political game and I hate that I have no voice or say to what happens to my income.

And then someone posted this on facebook:




I was amazed.

I was inspired.

I was hopeful.

I still am super duper stressed.

But I know that things could be a lot worse for us. We have each other, we have our pups, we have the most amazing support system, we have love, hope, courage and strength.

So from now on I will try to have no worries . . .
