Another day, another struggle

Good morning y'all.

 

Trying not to feel down today as I was contacted about a possible job yesterday but when I explained the deficiencies that I suffer from due to the stroke, the conversation ended. I dont feel surprised, just sad. Not sad about the job, but sad because in a moment of weakness I called my wife to tell her about the opportunity and she, who has been very supportive and still is, got a little sad because before the stroke, we had been planning on her leaving her job to finish her studies. Obviously, now as the sole wage earner in our family that is impossible at this time. I feel as though I have let her down again. I wish I wouldnt do that.

Feeling sad about not being able to accept this job is normal. I think anyone would feel disappointed at the reminder of lost dreams. As a spouse though, I would imagine that your wife while too is sad about the changes but more happy that she has you by her side. The dream has to change at least for a little while. You may be losing one dream but you are free to dream new dreams. Be sad for a little while then focus on something new and exciting. Ruth

I'm sorry it went that way for you.... but it has been my experience although i must remind myself--- that whatever will be will be..... and to just trust and have faith.. at the wrong time in out lives that sounds lame. but i really look back and that is what i've seen .... and believe me things have not been easy but they have worked out in their own "messed" up way. nancyl
