Thank you, Vera and P! I feel like I am at that point of surrender, also, P! I pray that it we are all at that point. Things have been going quite well for me lately, and then I found out last night that my husband’s job is on the line once again. He has been fired from his last 3 jobs. He is very good at what he does, but he is in sales, and it is very tough. In fact, the first job he lost, he was the most successful salesman they had. The problem was that they didn’t want to pay him his commission, so they let him go. That company is in business today only because of my husband’s sales. He told me a month ago that even though he was making his quota, his company wanted new sales. He had been working for some time on something new. A 1.8 million dollar sale. And he got it! that is until last night we found out his client had to do something different. Circumstances totally beyond my husband’s control. He is devastated. He feels like a loser. Apologizing to me. I am the one who is the loser, and I have been apologizing to him. I feel even worse about my gambling. The two of us are a sorry lot. We are both so weary after all we have been through the last 5 years. I see how defeated he is and it breaks my heart. Thank you for listening. Sorry to be all doom and gloom. Tomorrow will be a brighter day. The one thing I do know is that we will hang on tight to one another, and that is a blessing that trumps everything else!
