Default Today I smiled :) - 03-16-2003, 01:34 PM

Today I smiled :) and said:

"Thank you Lord for the beautiful weather. Most importantly thank you for bringing me safely through this past cold cold cold dreary winter. Thank you Father! :)

Spring is in the air... I love it!! :)"

I thanked the lord for letting me see yet another sabbath day. I asked God to forgive those that are preoccupied with making new potent bombs. I prayed for dear Kenya. I also asked God to deliver me from the overwhelming depression that has become my companion since my layoff.

@Kahiu_itina:

I'm sorry to hear your bad news. You know I got rifed in 2001 2weeks after 9/11... I found strength in prayer and I'm in a better situation now. I'll remember you in prayer so that you may find something soon. :) Stay blessed. :)

NBer.

Thanks for all the encouraging words. Loosing a job after ten years of hard work can be a jarring and humbling experience. I have rebuked folks in the past who attach considerable value on their jobs and I strutted around with what was clearly a facade of invincibility. Pride clearly comes before the big deafening humpty-dumpty fall.

kahiu_itina,

Pole bruh, just hang in there. I'm sure something good will pop up along the way as it did for me. I feel you on the depression shyt. The way I got over it was to have someone to talk to and give me some hope, however minimal the effect. I tell you what, life bila hope is as good as death itself. Usijali, these shidaz never last forever.

O_D_D:
Thanks for your inspiring words. Even a big man can yell for help. What I found perplexing was all the extra security that requested to show us the door. We were literally frog-marched to our cars. Anyway,I saw an Indian shrink yesterday who made a startling revelation that left my ass utterly confused. He periodically suffers from severe bouts of depression that have required brief hospitilization. Now, what is a man supposed to think when his shrink is already depressed?.
