Today I decide to be wealthy.
Not much to report today. Got some minor clothing mending for some friends of mine and I opened up "Writer's Market" for 2010 that I checked out of the library a couple of weeks ago.
Step #3 is to "Win in the Margins," to find some talent or skill or idea that can be used for a profit. The book had some women who were in financial duress when they came up with the ideas that made them their fame and fortunes.
When I applied for unemployment, I had to go to a workshop about using the career finding resources, and I and two others were called out at the end, and we met with someone who talked to us about creating our own businesses. I asked about what if I became a writer, and that was immediately shot down. Which is probably just as well, as I haven't even finished two of my fanfiction books.
Today I saw the guy I blame for the mess we're in. I blame him when I'm not blaming myself for taking his idiotic, abusive financial crap paper and throwing it into the fireplace when I first laid eyes on it.
So, anyway, I dropped in at the Goodwill thrift store, to check on some art supplies that I find there from time to time, and there he was, in the book section. He hadn't seen me, we didn't make eye contact, so I kept going through the store to get to the fabric section. (I want to make some steampunk clothing and some other stuff), and there was his third wife, cheerfully going through the clothing. I said hi, but she either didn't hear me or ignored me, and I kept going. I did a quick check of table linens and picture frames, and then the yarn area, and then headed out the door. As I left, I saw that he had his back turned to the door.
I don't think things are going any better than for him. And the scriptures and the prophets say that I need to pray for him to receive the same blessings that I want for myself. I wish that I could just let it go, and get on with my life. It seems that almost every dayI have to deal with it again.
Forgiveness is a process. Just like some people can have cancer and be instantly healed, and others have to keep working at healing.
Anyway, today was supposed to be about step #3. I still have yet to find my pay stubs from my October and November job and reopen my unemployment claim. Now I'll get off the computer, finish putting in the zipper on the jacket, and go through the papers and find the pay stubs that I know are in there, as I just put them in the box a week ago.
I haven't been exercising, and I've been over-eating. Wealthy people take care of their health. I did send off the COBRA payments for the dental and eye glasses insurances. Haven't paid any other bills for this month, yet.
