moving on .........Thank you !

[badgalbetty]

As some of you know I got kicked in the teeth a while ago and life was a little........well a lot, on the difficult side. I got up, spat out the broken bits and the blood and decided to go forward. I found 3 part time jobs and have been working my tail off. I still live in my 10x10 foot room and still own my ducati. I have had friends that love me,hold my hand,encourage me along this twisted hard rocky path. I love my jobs. I gave notice on them all and have found ONE really good paying job.I start that next Monday. I have pulled myself up by my bootstraps and am going forward with my life. This good paying job is good pay for what I am used to, which most of you will probably baulk over and dismiss as a low payer, its between 10 and 20 an hour somewhere in the middle. The point of the post is this.........no atter how hard life is and no matter how much you have lost , never give up, never give in. Fight with everything that is you to improve your life and make your life count.Thank you specially to SacDuc, Stpintime,Mr and Mrs I and most of the ladies from the ladies section. I owe you all a debt of gratitude I would have a hard time repaying.Your words of encouragement and love are priceless. Thank you.
Erica.

You may be cutting down on the # of jobs but I told you before, I think you should be a writer.  Even better:  a motivational speaker.  I certainly benefit from your words â€" thank you.

Best of luck!!!   Vent, rant, brag, sing with us anytime you need/want to!

Mary, Next time beers are on me for sure, C yes, soon, call me!

[SacDuc]

Dammit! Don't blow my cover! I don't want people to know that I occasionally do/say nice things. 

Good on ya'! M and I are really glad you are going in the direction you are!   

Cheers. PM on the way.

Good luck with the new job and stop, right now, caring what anyone will think about how much you make. Everyone that makes an honest living should hold their head up high. Period.
