Just a couple of months ago, life was pretty much what most people would consider to be normal. I had a job.
My truck was the greatest but I had a running vehicle. I had a place to live.

That was a couple of months ago. Today, I am trying to find yet another shelter so that I will have somewhere safe to sleep tonight.

Most people think of homelessness as a choice disposition. Maybe someone on the streets is there because they chose to live such a desolate existence.

I am not not one of those people.

Timing, misfortune and poor financial sense are the primary cause of my homeless state.

The job closed unexpectedly.

My lease was terminated for nonpayment.

And now I am living life on the streets... homelessly.

What an eye-opener. I thought that I was immune to homelessness. I now see that it can happen to anyone.

Brother... It is no vacation. I have to work harder to survive than I did when I had a job. And so far, there doesn't appear to be an employer in sight that is willing to give a person with no fixed home address a job.

Talk about a double edged sword!!!!

No incoming... No home!!! No home... Income!!!!

I wish that it had not come to being homeless for me to see just how tough life really is on the street.
