Day 287 (Or, Daily Post #17)

November 21, 2019; 2330

287 days. I can’t tell if it feels that long...or longer. It has been a wild ride nonetheless. an entire life turned upside down.

My troubles are far from over, but things seem to be settling into place a little bit. I start a new job on Wednesday. I’m excited for this and it feels good overall. Financially, it still won’t fix everything, but it will give me some steady and regular income - a base from which to work.

I currently have refuge from the cold and a place in which I can get myself together - overall, as well as on a daily basis. It has been 287 days since I have really been able to do that.

Life has flipped over so many times in the past several months - such a roller coaster ride. So many changes.

As much as things change, they stay the same.

I find myself facing a different job and different living circumstances but my struggles remain. I still need to generate more income than the job will provide. I’m still trying to find my ice in this life and to live the best life I can.

For all of it’s ups and downs, twists and turns, this has been an adventure without regret. I don’t like what I have lost along the way, but I can’t say I’m sorry things have been changing in my life. In fact, I am very grateful for my life at the moment. Maybe more so than I have been in the past.

The next several weeks will be difficult, challenging...strange. I look forward to the adventure that lies ahead.
