Unfortunate Circumstances
Ever feel like everything was hitting you at once? I mean, have you ever had one unfortunate incident after another stack up until you thought you were going to implode? Lately I have had a dose of that and I can attest that it is no fun. Fortunately, I seem to have developed a coping ability which most would be envious of. This, however is not about me. Not this time.
I have a good friend who has had some pretty rough things happen to her lately and, while I sympathize- even empathize, I can’t do much for her because of the vast physical distance separating us. Were she here or I there I would certainly reach out to her and give her a hand up. All I can do here is offer a word or two of encouragement and hope that something works out somewhere along the line.
This friend has recently returned home, having no place to live but with a friend. This person then ended her hospitality by tossing my friend out (for nothing more than personal reasons, I would infer) at 3am. Not a good scenario. At least she had found a job, which offered some light at the end of the tunnel. Oops. They decided they couldn’t take her on. SO now she is homeless and jobless and I am wondering what I can do to help that will actually be helpful. I hate to see this happen to anyone, especially a friend. Maybe there is a solution somewhere. I’ll have to keep trying, as will she.
