A Twister of Emotions

The last couple of weeks have been challenging. We are in one of the areas that was hit by a tornado. I am very blessed to have my home and a bed to sleep in. Some of my neighbors are not as fortunate as we are. My husband is an Assistant Chief for our fire department. He saw it coming straight for us and had me and my dogs in our shelter before the sirens ever went off. Standing in there I could hear the growl and the room shake; I know nothing likewhat my neighbors and friends experienced.

I have been done helping neighbors in the community get the things they need to start their lives over again. Taking in donations and then supplying them with those donations. Water, food, daily necessities and trying to help guide them in the right direction of more help. I may of still had my house but I could just feel the heartache and shock and all I could feel was to try to help make it better. But then you go home and its like now what?

I have been searching for a job for about 6 months now and I feel like my emotions are that tornado now and seeing and experiencing what I have through this is a twister of emotions. It has made things hard to keep going, frustrating, and exhausting. (That could also be the days of lack of sleep) But I feel Job hunting has made me feel like that tornado. Going in circles and no real path or reason. Even though it seemed to have its own path. I have had one job since 1996 until last Dec. I am a hard worker just not a lot of experience in different areas. But yet I keep getting declined for jobs. This has caused so many emotions that just keep twisting around and no where to go.

The one thing that has kept me going and positive is WA and the community here. I have started building a website puppiesanddogsplusmore.com and have had an amazing experience. I am finishing Level 2 today!!! Second Blog and finishing another post on site today as well. I have enjoyed the chats and get instant help.

The only thing so far I have struggled with is getting my header picture on. But I know I will figure it out eventually hopefully soon. I was not sure about how I would be able to do this myself ; I am not a tech person, but Kyle has made his training easy to follow and the community as been so helpful!! Thanks to all!

And as for my twister of emotions, hopefully when things settle so will they.
