Wow, 2 posts in one day. And that is because I had a good day today. It's weird because I am officially homeless. Probobly the worst situation you can be in. Yet,... I am the happiest I have been in 8 years. The whole time I lived in Ontario Housing. The drama,... the gossip,... it's all gone! Now I just enjoy life.
Today I got a bite on a place to live and a job. There are two lovely Korean women who run this motel. I happened to say something about 'clean' and she said "you need a cleaning job?" I immediately said yes. We chatted a little bit about it. It sounds like I may get a deal living here permanantly in exchange for being a cleaner. It was all chat just in passing so I hope she remembers and offers me a job and place. I have been extra clean and polite with her as I want to show her I am a good person. Clean person. No drugs. no drinking. And because I know they are active Christians, I told her about my church back home. We chatted about church and God too. I have been thinking lately that maybe I do believe in God again. I was brought to BC but it didn't work out. But now I am here I see just how beautiful it is. I have family here! I want to stay. I can't help but think this is a huge 'God'incidence for me. Fate. She asked if I wanted to go to church with her on Sunday and I said sure. I know from experience that the best way to intigrate into a community and find the good people, is through a church. So,... I'll give it a go.
I went for 2 walks today. I chatted with more people today than I did all year in Ontario. The people here are just so open and friendly. I actually met a friend. We met on the boardwalk. She was placing little angel figurines at all of the benches on the boardwalk so I asked her why. They are in memory of people who have passed. We got chatting and she gave me her number and told me to text her for coffee. Homeless ~ yet doing better mentally than I was in Ontario. How can I be so happy when I don't even have a home?
