Work!

I forgot what working out of the house was like. I know I complained a lot when I had my home office and worked 15 to 20 hours a day but now I kinda miss it. But don't tell anyone that! I would never hear the end of it.

Well I have been a working girl since Feb. 9th. I go to work at 2 pm and get off at 10 pm. I am just a lowly cashier at a convenience store but oh well, I get paid. Just think half my life ago, I was the manager of a convenience store and now I am just the cashier. Funny how things turn around. Actually I don't think of my job as a lowly job. I know I qualify for better work, better pay and a better neighborhood to work in but I am thankful I got the job. With so many out there with no income, I at least have some income. I only work 32 hours a week and for now, that will have to do. Frankly my body isn't use to standing for 8 hours a day, its use to sitting it's but in a desk. I really enjoy seeing customers in person and seeing faces over and over. Most of our clientele are homeless or one step from being homeless.

This in its self has taught me an awesome lesson. People can be totally beaten down in life. Think there is no good left and all it takes for them to feel a tiny bit better is a smiling face and someone to say, "stay safe out there!" You would think I had just handed them a million dollars. One man named Hindu, started to cry when I told him I would pray for him every day. He says I am his angel. It does a heart good to cause someone to smile or feel better even if only for a second.
