Snowflake to snowflake

Well so much for being a blogger for the over 50 and unemployed group.....only posted two times.
Hopefully I will pick back up on this and more ahead as I am quickly approaching 2 biggies in my life. 1 my 53rd birthday next week and 2 coming up on a whole year of no work/no income. I will take the birthday over the other any day.

As I sit here writing this looking out my window I have the enjoyment of watching the snow flurries falling it brings much delight to this writer. Note I said flurries and pretty much that will be all we get, still sorta living in the south we don't get snowed in here so we still enjoy the snow. ;-)

They say that each snow flake is different and as I am watching them all float around outside my window, I think about how many I must be seeing, then I think about all the snow and every place it must be snowing or that has snow and that each snowflake is different, so snowflakes are like people. Each one of us are created differently, all the millions of people all over this world and we are all DIFFERENT. Now just like the snowflake many things are similar. That tiny snowflake has needs just like we do. If the temperature isn't just right it will be rain or sleet instead of snow. The snow can be nice or it can be mean. A little dusting is nice and to be snowed in for days can be mean. Just like we can be nice or we can be mean. Anyway my point is they are all different, just as we are all different and we all have our own needs that need to be met.

The writer of this blog has a need for an income as many of you who are reading if indeed any of you are reading this, HEY!!! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?!?!?

There are many valleys and hills of unemployment and I am here to say I have been in the valley WAY TOO LONG. I found myself in a depth of depression I never ever want to reach again. But through God's grace, I did find my way out of it. Thankfully I do have friends who from time to time have more to do than time to do it and they will give me a call and say hey, I need your help with something can you help me out? Sometimes, it is only for the gas money and sometimes it is for a nice chunk of change as well. But mostly for me, being able to do something productive is the best thing ever. Don't get me wrong I really appreciate the funds for the gas and the extra when given but what it does for me mentally and emotionally far outweighs what benefit I have been to them.
I tried doing some volunteering but without having gas money to get there and back it proved to be a difficult thing to do but I do suggest doing it if you are able to. It gives you such a sense of accomplishment and you know you are helping someone out. Also it proves itself to be a valuable networking tool. You never know what door it may open up for you.
I will leave you with this today, from one snowflake to another we are all different and all have different needs, there may be something you are in excess of that someone else needs. What can you do for a snowflake you are close to???
