Here is the latest so far..........SORRY, IT IS LONG

Morning to all here, hoping that your day's journey goes well and accordingly. Many have asked me to keep them posted on the job that I have recently applied for. To catch some up, this job is with our city/county Emergency 911 Call systems. Let me tell you, since August 3rd, it has been one cruewling test after another. The first was a typing test, then multi-task ability, then a personality profile test. How in Hades I survived all three is beyond my BB brain reasoning. But one friend pretty much hit the nail on the head this morning in talking about them. All of these tests are geared to see how we act under STRESS. Do we crack or buckle down and ride the storm. Let me tell you......I have had more stress in my life since 1996, than some folks would even have in a lifetime. And I mean quite honestly to the point at many times of seriously wishing to step off of this fast train of life. But some unknown force and my unlying faith in the higher power seem to have only fortified me in digging in my heels and riding out these storms. And storms they have been. I lost my dad in '96 to Alzheimer's, it is the worse disease ever to strike mankind. For literally, the saying holds true: THE LIGHT IS ON, BUT NOBODY IS HOME. And the mental anquish is awful. This man was my hero, my idol, my everything. And I was his LITTLE GIRL. I learn to fish, hunt, drive, work on cars, just about everything from him. I also learned that I am only ME, nobody else. And to always try and hold to that. To this day, I miss him ever so much. But hauntingly enough, whenever I get really near bottom, I whisper for him and some of his saged wisdom and guidance and strangely, I find a PENNY lying on the ground. Someone once said that god and/or angels will toss pennies to the ground to get our attention at times. I believe this folks, for let me tell you...I have been finding quite a few. And it is always after I pray on a situation. My life has taken many a twisted turn and I honestly stand amazed at times. I have lost everyone of my immediate family in the past three years as well leaving me with just ME, MYSELF AND I. I have others to do such dirty, mean, cruel things to me, that other you read about either strike them down or strike themselves down. What honestly has kept me from doing it, I can only guess. But needless to say, my pack-mule in life has been seriously overloaded with stress. Now you ask, with all of this, how can I possibly seem myself going and wanting a job that can only create more on a daily basis of stress and mayhem??? I don't know, I guess it is my drug of choice. But strangely enough though, I am coming to find that it in the long run sustains me in this life and gives me the will to go on. Make sense??? I go tomorrow for the final showdown and get a timetable for drug testing, physical and that drill. Also as to when I can submit a notice to the place I work now. I am happy, excited and yet scared of my ever loving mind!!! But I do thank each and every one of you, have held my back in support of kind thought, prayers and fingers crossed so many times these past few months. And you have done it unconditionally!!! For that, MY FRIENDS, I give wholehearted thanks. As for the love of my life, we are still on the road, it is just really rocky and pocked full of holes, but we are making it through. It is going to take time, but hopefully (and I think "somebody" is watching over us both!!!) it will come out to a good resolution for all. Again, thanks to all of you. You have definitely been my lighthouses, my anchors to my life's boat in such a sea of life!!! Best to all, Bea

God Bless

I wish you ALL the best Bea. You'll continue to be in my prayers. Hugz, Cathy
