Ample Optimism

Second submission for Velvet Verbosity's 100 Words! It's been a bit crazy around here so I missed a couple of weeks.



Ample Optimism
Right now she has food to eat and a roof over her head . She tries not to worry about what she doesn't have and budgets what she does have mercilessly. The rest will fall into place once her job, her career, is found. Then, the stress over money and making ends meet will abate. The worries about keeping her house will cease. She'll finally be able to replace that screwed up drainage pipe. Unemployment is tough and the worry of it all is wreaking havoc on her health.

Soon, though, there will be ample resources for joy.

She hopes.

    I like the real way you catch the desperation.

    This is very true to life. I have been there. Very good at capturing the emotion.
