I’m 56 years old and I still get around like I’m young. But I know I’m not young no more even though I still feel young. I just take things one day at a time. Though I have not seen the results I thought I would see by this age, I still have lots of life to look forward to. It can sometimes make me feel like I was cheated out of having the success I wanted in life years ago. But I know I’ve got to hang in there and wait and see what’s in store for me. I keep on pushing because you never know what could happen. And maybe what I miss on earth I will get in heaven – that’s the place I want to go to when I leave this place.
The other week I received an unexpected phone call from my lawyer. She called to tell me that I won a legal case to keep my housing voucher. I thanked God for that and immediately told the lawyer that I loved her for being on my side. I don’t want to ever go back to the streets and be homeless again. Now, I just need to go to work so that I can make money and buy myself nice things for myself and my home.
