Who ever knows what road they will travel down or circumstances they will end up in? I, for one, certainly never thought this would be a place I'd be in, but, here I am. I originally became aware of soulcast about 2 or 3 years ago. Then I signed on as the "three F words". I am open and frank about most everything, but I am not that angry woman of then. Alot has been happening and although I am currently homeless and in a shelter, AND YES, It is with my husband! He is pursuing the recovery road hard as can be and I know the few of you who gave me sane advice to think my choices may have chosen differently, God Bless you for it. I can only say, we all travel our own roads.
In any event, homeless, what is it all about? I can tell you firsthand, it is not what I had ever envisioned. Sleeping anywhere, with nothing. Finding something to eat, a kind face, never knowing what will come next. Doing it after the age of 50 I don't think is any easier, but go figure, alot of us are going there at this age. Personally, my husband and I are vets. He is a vet of the vietnam war, marines. Me, short term Navy in the 70's and retired reservist. You'd think being vets it would be a less bumpy road, but not necessarily so. If anything, just as bumpy as the average joe without a place to go.
What I was wondering, if any of you have been homeless, or do you consider it beneath you, or do you just not think about it, or perhaps you were like me, driving past them, ignoring them and pretending they did not exist? Me, I have a whole different perspective now, thought it might be good to share it and yours. Til the next, Miccah.
