It is what it is......................

I woke up this morning being thankful that I have a roof over my head.  It may not be the best situation in the world, but it beats being on street!  That is my worst fear! Being on the street with no where to go. A former homeless guy once said: "You're homeless when you don't have a home,but you're homeless really when you don't have a place to go. Nobody deserves that".  Those words ring so true for many homeless people around this country.  That is why I work extra hard to make things happen so that will not happen. If you would have told me several years ago that I would be living at the YMCA on the Gold Coast of Chicago, I would have laughed in your face!  I would pass this place every day on the bus and never in my wildest dreams I would end up here.  This not saying that I,m better that the next person, but life has a way of fucking your plans up.  Thank George Bush for screwing this country up while you and your cronies feed from the through of prosperity and plenty!  What a bastard!
