I, as I have admitted before, live on SSI and SSDI. The last time I worked in a full time basis was in the spring of 2003.I was homeless for a while in late 2003 and in early 2004. I now live in subsidized housing provided by a program entiltled Pathway Homes.
I am now beginning to seek to explore possible ways of escape, of living a life more satisfactorily sustainable. The main initiative is that I am now in the midst of is tutoring.I have been tutoring a 10 year old boy every Monday for an hour and a half. His mom tells me that I am restoring his confidence, something that she believes that his 4th Grade year has damaged.
I am still in a position where the hard landing in my " fall off the horse" STILL seems so jarring and painful that I still don't want to get back on the horse. Yet, I feel like I'm only visiting my life. I , perhaps, need to get involved in some meaningful activities in Toastmasters which will help people see how compelling desirable Toastmasters is to be involved in! My Church also seems a place to establish my efforts as being productive and meaningful as I invest in both the programs and people connected to my church.
That fall STILL seems to be far too painful, getting back on to ride still seems very scary!
