I checked mail today and found a hand written/copied letter from someone looking for work as a housekeeper. I was immediately saddened by her letter. It said something like, "Repsonsible Polish woman looking for job as housekeeper. Experienced in cleaning, honest (spelled without the H). Please contact me for an estimate."

It makes me feel lucky to have a job, but also makes me reflect on how tough this woman must have it to make copies of a handwritten letter, and put them in neighborhoods around me, in the pouring rain today.

My parents are hard workers, and who knows...with the economy the aay it is, I mean, this could be them! It's a stretch but still! My parents found out today they needed a new furnace. If it's not one thing, it's another!

Now I'm sitting here thinking about this poor woman and literally crying thinking how sad it is. I'm so lucky. I know I get all emotional like this when I have PMSING, but I hate it. I hate being so sensitive about things that should not bother me. I'm not sure how to handle all these feelings of sadness.
