Make it be known!

Yes, many may feel ashamed or embarrassed about their recent unemployment, I did.  But in the truth, you shouldn't be.  My advice to any one is this, make known, shout it from the rooftops that you are unemployed.  Not for sympathy, but for means of survival.  You never know who is looking for a babysitter, house cleaner, or even a dog walker or even better, knows a position that you specialize in.
In this past week I made it public on my facebook page, emailed all friends, and had friends tell friends.  There have been no promises or interviews set yet, but people are looking and helping me.

I will admit, after receiving a very sweet, encouraging card today from my dear friend Laurie, I had a good cry.  It's scary and no matter what it's a position that nobody wants to be in. So after I stopped the sobbing, I pulled myself together, got out of my bathrobe (it was 1:00pm at this time) got lunch on the table, and continued my afternoon.

After a good manicure, by the generosity of my JoMa, and glass of Wild Turkey on the rocks, today turned out not too be so bad!
