It's not so chilly this morning, as it has been for the past few days. Fortunately, I find myself looking forward to work today.
The picture at left shows my work desk at home. I know how to read and write music, but lately, all I've been doing is just playing.
I'm well into a work-a-day routine, and I probably should take a few days off in the future and go someplace different.
The picture at left was taken at the Salvation Army homeless shelter in Savannah. I lived here for 9 months before I found a job, saved money, and moved into an apartment. If you're wondering why it took so long, it's because they require you to wait 6 months-a veritable vacation from life itself-in order to do a lot of thinking and praying about what, exactly, got you to this point. Meanwhile, they put you to work around the shelter 40 hrs. a week (I worked in their warehouse, and did a stint as a front desk clerk).
But today, I am no longer homeless, working a full-time job at a local hospital about a mile and a half from my apartment. Today, I am grateful to the Salvation Army in Savannah for helping me get back on my feet again.
