New Life
I have debated for several days about how to write this. I have realized after reading my dear friend's blog, to take it in this direction.
My dear friend Andy, says the future is bright he has to wear shades. He woke this morning with a new pair.
We are all doing just that. Waking up in the mornng with a new pair of shades. A pair of shades that sees the future different than what we are accustomed to.
Normally, I would be racing around the house getting ready for work. Instead, I sit here in front of my computer still in my nighty. I am working from home. For my safety, I was told, I had to work from home until further notice. This is a terrible feeling. To work for days to help, and then to be sent home because I may not be safe. Some time ago, I practiced safety each and every day as a counselor for victims of domestic violence. I take a job in sales in a hotel, I am more in danger since this storm than the 4 years I helped victims to lives of safety and violence-free. I don't understand it.
Is it fair for me to question what has happened? Is it fair that there are people without anything, while I sit home in my nighty?
What happens to our community now? What happens to the people of Louisiana? How does one start over?
Do I dare say, some people they interviewed said they had nothing when they left, they have even less now. They will now get money and asisstance and possibly homes. Why does it take a tragedy like this for the government to realize, humans are struggling so much.
