It’s been a rough few weeks so far. I’ve had a cough that doesn’t seem to want to go away, I’m working all the overtime I can because of needing money right now, and I can’t take sick time off to get better because 1)I’d lose my overtime money (it would just be regular money instead of time and a half) and 2) we’re short people at work and I’m the type of person that doesn’t want to put that extra burden on others. I’ve been complaining about needing more people and I’ve been told repeatedly we don’t need people and we can’t get more people because we don’t have the money, we lost a 6 hour guy at work because of bullying and were only going to get a 5 hour to replace him and I complained a lot about that yesterday to my boss. Today, he came in and said we will get a 6 hour guy. Who knows if this is real or not, I’ll believe it when I see it, but I feel like I finally won. It’s been a long time I feel like and it just feels good. Plus, I didn’t cough all that much today which is doubly good! It’s been a rough few weeks, but it’s days like this that make me think I’m going to be ok, we’re going to make it and maybe I can make a difference where I work. 

I think it’s important to have days like this, days when all else seems to be falling apart, you have a day where you feel like you’ve won and you see a little glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Remember, those days are out there. If you’re struggling, keep pushing forward and I hope the light shines in for you. God bless and thank you for all that you do.
