Keep On Pushin On

It is a difficult time for a lot of people due to our economy. I see this every single day that I am in my office. Sometimes when I think I have it tough and rough, I listen to my clients and realize that I can at least work another job or two if I needed to. A lot of the people who I work with are disabled and elderly. A person who is 90 years old and lives on $357 a month (wonderful social security benefits) , has no way or it is much more difficult for them to make more income. I couldn't hold back yesterday while speaking with a case manager. I started to tear up and sniffle. I feel so bad for the elders in my area who are so much like this one case. What are these folks going to do? I wish that I could afford to throw my paychecks into a pot for these guys. I hate to know that my clients are stressing out and worried that they are going to freeze to death or maybe even starve to death this winter......not only this winter, what about the next one or the next one......I'm typing here with a sprained wrist....so now I'm going to close.....
