"Premonition" an answer to last nights writing. These were written two years ago, and are strangely poignant today.

Premonition

Last night, I had lost my ‘Joie de Vivre’
I was feeling blue; I was tired too.
Tonight things have changed; I feel relieved.
Although my income will now a bit drop,
Perhaps my fatigue and back pain will stop.

I had felt that we were making progress;
That a few things would soon be on the mend.
It seems I had had a premonition;
Naught to regress; my job was at an end.
I would wish all good things and hope to them.

So now, a time to rethink and regroup;
A time to recover and to recoup.
I will spend my time in good cheer and grace;
Seeking to find good in the human race.

As stated, 2 yrs ago in 2016, I was still living in Mableton, with the relatives with whom
I'd had a 'love/hate' relationship for about 7 yrs, but the writings were concerning the ending of my
Employment with the very small, very low budget nursing home where I'd worked since 2010. I'd
Done a great deal for that place without pay, I'd been taken advantage of, lied about by other
Employees and as a result had my hours slashed.
I hated quitting, I hate the thought that I had let them (the corporate vampires) win.
So on this date, two years ago, I no longer worked for Adcare, and the nursing
Home "Autumn Breeze" of Marietta. I really hated leaving all those poor
Souls I had come to know by name, who were trapped by economy,
Lack of caring family members and circumstance, to live in that
Hell hole.
These writings strangely mirror my current circumstances, but
For different reasons. Today, things did take a turn for the
Better here. I am still in a great deal of daily pain, but
Now, if what I was told today holds true, I can start
Working on improving my health and my income.
