Excerpt from Single Dad Laughing

****Hell is so personal and so different for every person who experiences it. Some will have to climb impossible mountains while walking their roads. Some will have to wade through shark-infested waters. Others will have to swim through seas of lava. A few will get to the end much sooner than anticipated, and with little trouble at all.

One morning, four good people are unexpectedly terminated from their jobs. All four have the jaws of hell opened up before them. All four look at the thousand roads they will choose from, and they each choose one.

One good person walks to the end. He steps over the border of hell and into a new job doing something he’s always been passionate about. Another good person walks to the end. She steps over the border of hell and into the schooling that she’s always found a reason to put off. This, in turn, leads to a life and a career that makes her truly happy. Another good person walks to the end. She steps over the border of hell and into the arms of a good man at a new workplace. The last good person walks a short ways, and then turns around and heads back. He’s still there. He’s still going through it. He’s still trying to decide on the right road.

Three spend the rest of their lives being thankful for the hell they just walked through. One spends the rest of his life desperate to escape.

We can’t choose our hells or when we’ll have to start walking through them. We can’t choose what will be on the road in front of us. We can’t even choose what will be at the end.

What we can choose is to keep walking. We can choose to look at the flames in front of us and maneuver our way through them. We can move forward with blind faith that there is always something good at the end of our road.

And faith it will take. I promise you that. ****

I just found out that my coworkers and I will be unemployed in a few weeks. The company has been sold and pretty much it's a big dirty mess with corrupt people...
My first reaction was shock followed by getting really pissed which was followed by pure denial. Right now I'm at the denial/pissed phase. I really don't understand people.
Sorry this update is sad! I hope that all of you are wonderful and happy!
