I enjoyed reading it, what an adventure you have had. I believe the positive response to your plight came from your opening your heart and soul and taking responsibility for your plight. Your honesty and need touched hearts as we all are only a few steps from the same plight. An accident, poor health, the economy,...we all are vulnerable to something and a helping hand blesses the giver as well. Hope you are feeling better and are able to make all your dreams come true. Try to make good on your old debts to family, guilt is a weight we are better off without. Best of luck to you! :hf::hf::hf: Just read your blog, a good first step. I believe you should keep it up as a form of self reflection and knowledge and therapy. We tend to see what we believe, and often we believe things that just are not true. Relationships can be repaired, when you know where you went wrong, when you make amends and ask forgiveness. I'm truly sorry you lost your job. I believe it is an opportunity to start a better more mindful life, thank God it didn't happen when your were much older. One of the biggest employers here now tests for cigarette smoking and you can lose your benefits and your job for smoking cigarettes, being overweight, or not exercising! The world is changing fast, being self employed is the best bet for long term freedom and job security as we all age. Stay mindful, hopeful and joyous, and blessings will come to you and those you interact with. [/quote] Thank you for your kind and uplifting words; they mean a lot. And yes I completely take responsiblity for the bad things I've done in my life. I can't undo them. I don't know if I was meant to be where I am right now. I do know that I see this as a second chace, one I will not squander. Once I get myself established here a bit more, and once I can overcome the beouracacy, red tape, and minor financial burden of trying to get a copy of my birth certificate I'll be a lot happier. It's amazing the things we take for granted in life. [/quote] You get yourself out of one predicament with being homeless with help and now that you are facing more struggles with the financial system you need to keep your mind and heart free from stress and have faith. I know because I also have been let down by burdens I thought were out of my control with the system and people but sometimes it pays to be thankful for what you have now and not to worry too much about the future. Blessing and hope your life works out as you dream on! [/quote] Thank you for reading! [/quote]

So as of today I am officially homeless.
I won't bore you all with long sob stories.
About a year ago lost my job of twelve years, couldn't find new work, made some bad financial choices, and today I sit in the public library on my old laptop typing away as all my posessions lay in three small suitcases very close to where I am sitting.
I think this might possibly be the worst place to be homless, given the horrible heat.
So I have seventy-five cents to my name, am not sure where I'll be putting my head down to sleep tonight, and was wondering if anyone else out there has been in a similar prediciment.
I'll update my story here as I can. Maybe a few people will find it interesting.
