i hope it wasnt a family that would cosign the self pity and say its ok to drink.

im out of work,too. in fact, after being diagnosed stage 3 metastatic melanoma 13 months into recovery i had to go on disability. 5 surgeries, 2 rounds of chemo, and a clinical trial have made it so i cant work. too many risks.
yup, lots of missed oppertunities. i was getting my life straight, gettting my financial situation straightened up.
now im over 50k in medical debt(insurance doesnt cover everything).
and disability doesnt pay much.

but i have choices!!!!!
the greatest is choosing to change my perceptions. theres a LOT of people that would gladly live in my shoes.
today i make the best of my life. i dont have to keep up with the jones'-i am the jonses'.
because i changed my perception.

i once was sad because i had no shoes
until i saw a man who had no feet.
