Things Are Looking A Little Brighter!

So far I have completed a few of my goals.  I have been re-examined with blood work and EKG.  I still need a complete physical.  I was re-evaluated by another psychiatrist who felt I might have Parkinsons Disease.  But Parkinson comes on gradually, not from one day to the next.  I am currently in a program that is giving me at least nine months to prove that I can still work.  




Apt. 9 Patent Crocodile Pill Box



It's called a Ticket To Work Program from the Social Security Office.  I was referred to the local workforce office in Corpus Christi Texas.


The advisor listened to my needs, but felt that I may need help or further training.  He advised that people can be cruel and he was afraid to place me in a public working environment for fear that someone would ridicule me.  


He referred me to another office and the gentlemen there was a great help.  He advised me that he could help me get a job working from home in transcription, data entry, or as a customer service representative selling software.  I could keep my disability and If I failed I would not lose my disability, but would be re-instated immediately.  


He advised that if my computer needed to be  upgrade they would do so, free of charge. And send me to school for any certifications I might need.


I told him I preferred to work from home, because I was less likely to have involuntary muscle movements  in my own element/home.  I'm comfortable there.  I get nervous around others and seem to move involuntarily a bit more then normal.


So, slowly but surly my life is coming together.  It has been at least a year and a few months of hard work.  But I am achieving my goals a little at time.  Although at times everything feels hopeless and I start to resent my currently life.   Something good always come my way.


My sons will be spending July 4th through the 6th with me.  And I'm very happy and excited about that.  My blogs are starting double and I'm am getting people from all over the world who are reading my stories.  Athens Greece is the newest addition.  Two in New Zealand, India, Indonesia, and many places in the United States.


And hopefully someday I will have my book publish in hardback for others to read.  I am thankful that I have the support of friends and loves ones to pull me out of my moments of sadness.  I'm not perfect, nor am I always so cheerful and strong.  But after a few days I dust off, stand up and fight for my happiness; as is my right.  I'm down.  Not out!

Thank you lord for blessing me with my home, a vehicle in which to travel, a loving family, and faithful friends.  Thank you lord that no harm has come to my children and that they are safe.  Thank you lord for my animals Saide and Hazel with whom I would feel lonly if they were not around to keep me company at home.  I know lord that someday I will be blessed with everything I lost and then some.  My heart does not fail, for I put my trust in the my lord.  For you are my rock and my fortress.  For if you are with me, then whom can come against me.  You are my Shield and Buckler.   I pray that when you return you find me doing that which is good on the earth.  Let your will be done in my life and and lives of my children always. Amen.
