Shaken and Stirred

It is interesting how life circumstances grabs hold of you and doesn't release it's ugly grasp. I got some bad news today - well possibly bad news when my tennant gave me thirty days notice he was moving out. Why discuss this in a psychological sense? Because it demonstrates how our personal lives effects us all.

Paying first and last to me, one would think I would be professional and place it into an account for a rainy day. Well living paycheck to paycheck and having a fixer upper in the desert has zapped my funds. So now I wonder how on Earth I will make ends meet at the beginning of the month.

Of course today I had sessions with some very troubled people. One I felt I made an exceptional connection with and really explained how they can self counsel themself. However while waiting for the psychiatric interview the person had melt down after melt down. Rare for me, but it does happen. Then another client who had no stopped cried throughout our interview began getting angry and demanded for the psychiatrist to see them. What a day. Ba Blam bam BAM!!

Luckily I see life through spiritual eyes. Obviously I need to address my financial issues with more diligence. My recent raise is helpful, but being a family man now I have some hard facts to face. Private practice? Dive head first into a gaming opportunity with promising financial rewards - plus at the same time work with my life long best friend? Persue a book deal, or market my two books on my own? The later is confusing because I haven't a clue about marketing. One thing for sure, if I am unable to solve this financial crunch, my therapy skills may lack. In this setting it wouldn't bode very well.

So I have some thinnin to do, as Rickey Ricardo would say. One thing for sure, I have unsurpassed skills, a great heart, and perserverance. Just one look at all the construction jobs I have been doing lately shows I can tough things out and create incredible beauty at the same time.

Thanks for your prayers and kindness.

May you have enhanced wellbeing.
