      Hey, yeah it is an unfortunate situation. Had the same thing happen to me a few years ago.

      Two and a half years into a job I really enjoyed (paid to make art, and paid well) plus finding an almost harmonious work/life/health balance, I was told I had to go because of budget cuts and they could no longer afford an extra artist.

      I've been on a rollercoaster ever since. But nothing lasts forever, it's part of life and sometimes a blessing in disguise. It all comes down to how you see it.

      Feelings come and go. You got this šŸ™‚

            Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. Right now I am praying that there is not a repeat of yesterday today. My husband works for the same company different departments.

                      @Zachary-Drenski Thank you. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. There is something more out there for us.

                        Thank you, everyone. I have decided the pity party has ended. I did my hair and makeup today. I have on real clothes. There are bigger and better things for me on the horizon. Thankfully we have a small savings account and HOPEFULLY, we will not have to dip into it. As a Christ-follower, I know that my needs and the needs of my kids will be provided for. Thank you for all the words of encouragement. They really do mean a lot to me.
