I looked for work for 4 months, have found nothing, and guess what. I decided to put everything (all my time) into my writing. Every spare cent, every last minute I can spare, I will be writing and finishing this series I am writing. If I can't find a job, maybe I can find an alternative way to support my family.<br /><br />Everyone CAN work and everyone SHOULD. Living on welfare for extended periods of time is abusing the system.<br /><br />Do I judge people who live on welfare? Well...of course I do! When my husband had his shoulder surgury I could have said oh well. Sat on welfare and lost everything. Instead, I went to work, busted my ass, and while we barely scrapped by, we made it. Why? Because I worked and I busted my ass.<br /><br />Everyone has the ability to succeed. Whether or not you have the drive and the motivation is what determines whether or not you do.Nora Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928080545431473657noreply@blogger.com
