I have no idea who it was--but THANK YOU! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
This last year has been a bad one. We've been luckier than most-but even so, I have not had a "real" job in almost a year. I've been scrambling to do freelance work to generate some kind of income--but the COBRA for our family health insurance has eaten most of it.
I'm not gonna even go into the beating my self esteem has taken--but depression has been part of my life for quite a while now. Luckily, it has all been related to my lack of career opportunities. There have been some saving graces in it all--and one of them has been the support I've had from all of you here at DU. If it wasn't for you guys and my family, I'm not sure how well this would have gone.
On a positive note, things ARE looking up in terms of a job and with any luck (and I'm NOT saying that with any cynicism!) I'll be gainfully employed full time sometime in the next couple months. My mantra all year has been "this too shall pass" and it looks like maybe it finally will.
Brightest blessings on you all. I love you.
Laura
