Last night I was sad because I knew I was going to need my cane to make it to work. The diabetic neuropathy in my feet continues to worsen at a rapid pace and the days of needing my cane are outpacing those that I do not. I put my cane near my bag in a strategic location so I would not forget it. I am hurting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found 3 jobs worth applying to through GoodWill Industries. One is actually an IT Help Desk Role that is a short bus ride away. The other 2 are state contracts with the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services. I think I will give these a try and see what happens. Something has to give and security is going nowhere. Even though I do not feel motivation, I have to summon it in some fashion. This is the only way I will better myself. I am sick of feeling sad and sorry. I will take things one day at a time and find something to do that is positive each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I found 3 jobs worth applying to and I will do so. Hey, that is actually 3 positive things right there. I&#8217;m reminded of what a friend once told me: In a sea of darkness, there is always a lighthouse to guide you away from the rocks and shoals and into port. At the very least, this will guide me away from the rocks and shoals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did not sleep so well last night. It was light and restless. I hope sleep tonight will be better. I hope overall things can better. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I am trying to find the motivation to do some things to better my existence but I am struggling.
