helps to defeat cabin fever if you work outside of your own home. You meet more people. you feel like you have a life. You aren’t a hermit. You may actually find life more enjoyable since you will interact better.

Depending on the job, you might have the opportunity to learn new things and acquire new skills. Sometimes those new skills and knowledge can come in handy.

Going out every day is great. You get to move around more which is good for your physical health. If you work with the public, it’s even better. You get to meet new people and from there, you never know what could happen… I’m thinking a lot of good unexpected things can come and change your life in a positive way.

Anyways, even if it was for only a few days a week, it can only be good. Try something Kim. If you don’t like it, try something else.

P.s. Did you get that e-mail message I transferred on to you? “If you want your life to change, you have to do things differently.” Simple but true. Isn’t it?
That goes for every one of us! :)

It’s about opening doors to your life. I know that your a kind person, I can feel the desire to contribute something to other people’s lives…So find your own way, and be the person you are…

You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of!!

I think getting up and going out to a place of work, gives you a sense of purpose hon, you may do ok at home, but the social thing and just being with other humans, meeting new folks is nice. Maybe you could find a job helping people if that’s what interests you, if not a paid job then maybe some volunteer work ? either would be very satisfying I think :-)

opportunity doesnt knock
we must search our hearts why not our world
uprising is in surprising
and lifted we have the eyes of the eagle
simple but true
impulse is futile to decline
its a sign to deliver
seek out the proof ,become pure giver
bad weather is a catylist for preparedness
end this dilema
follow your heart
for it is one and won by the champion
who knows no other
God spend hours within you forever
better means better

do what feels good
do what feels right
do what deals truth
do what heals lie

do what you do
as you do well

do your best
best beware
care is careful
ample for loving
running scared wont end this
only knowing
standing still
still praying
a friend is a shelter to many
having worth and worthy
your temple holds many
and is sanctuary
very tender and gentle {this your love gift}
an open door open to any
you are more then your pretending
dont let fear repress this
duty has new meaning
deeper then needing,seeding
life is bleeding her tears on every
thing
one
and steady we must hold the reigns of this pony

with god reigning
our race has just begun

please be free

raining down
the skies eyes

adoring you from heights
like a mother cries of happy

the daughter smiles and coming from far aways journey you return in full glory
never doubt your story
its author is all this
and he knows the true worth of earths
angels
of which you are

star
