Struggles never end, it seems.
I suppose I can now fully understand the phrase: be careful what you wish for.
It hasn't been easy for us, since we've come back. I am still out of work, much to my dismay and everyone's surprise.
It's a frustrating time. The struggles we are facing now, have put quite a damper on our happiness and relief and excitement of coming home.
I remind myself everyday of the good things we have and what we need to be grateful for. My husband is working hard to provide for us now. We are grateful God has taken care of us and given us this blessing.
I have faith that things will get easier, I just need to work on patience.
In the meantime, apart from job searching and resume sending, I am working on submissions for my novel. Crossing fingers that it will be picked up soon by an agent or publishing house.
Another good thing I've focused on is that Autumn is right around the corner...my favourite season!! So I am very happy about that. It will be a great time for my husband to get in some photography. And with the beautiful Canadian landscapes, I'm sure despite our present struggles, it will be a time for us both to sit back and lose ourselves in the natural beauty around us and perhaps forget our troubles for a time.
Photography is a portal not just for the naked eye to see beyond, but for one's soul to swim in...
