I never knew what emotional maturity was before. And I don't have it all the time. It is exhausting to be on either side. I do see it most of the time in President Barrack Obama. People don't seem to like him but he has a mess to try and clean up.

 Some times I feel I am on the same journey as the US.  Trying to find work but good work. I've paid too high a price in the past for taking good jobs but being treated poorly or being overworked. Thankfully I had a lessen this year and was able to quit a dysfunctional job before it took too much of my soul. I've only had temp work since.

  It is hard trying to pay bills and have it "all. Which really is not that much when you live on a limited income. I've had to pay for the rising cost of greed.  Appliances that aren't as well made as they use to be !!  I just don't have the time or money to fight the big companies either.

 I do hope I survive.. cause it is a huge challenge.
