Acceptance

At this point, it is a safe assumption that my husband and I have been forced into semi-retirement.  We are working part time and per diem jobs.  Our unemployment benefits have been exhausted.  We have accepted our downgraded lifestyle and don’t think very much about the future.  We are happy with the essence of our jobs but not the wages.   Right now, there is a lot less stress in our lives on a daily basis and we are grateful for every new day. 

Life is a lot like a carton of eggs; one stumble away from being scrambled.  This is what I have taken away from the last several years.
