Life is strange...just when you think you're at the top of the world, that you're untouchable, so resilient and proud, life just smacks you right back down to humble you. Life was good, I was enjoying the benefits of being a FT employee at my company and then *smack*, my company gets bought out and our future is uncertain. 2009 comes and I'm a year older wondering what the future will hold - will it get better? Will it get bleaker? Will we have answers? Will we have a resolution? A revolution? Finances are more than tight, re-fi is a nightmare. Just makes me wanna... .... ....just hold on til hopefully a better day. Til then, do everything you can to keep a faint smile, chin up and maintain a shred of sanity because there is no normalcy, no certainty...only that uncertainty is a certainty right now. Do everything and anything to hang in there.
