Discouraged.

On Saturday, I attended this event at church for ladies. I'm not usually a "lady," but I decided to go on a whim (and because a friend was going to be there).

My friend and I both won a prize for being the least excited about the holidays. 

Later, one of the ladies came up to me and asked if I was lacking holiday spirit because I was stressed out about being unemployed. I confirmed that was *part* of the reason.

"You aren't going to find a job before the new year, so you may as well enjoy the holidays," she replied.

Now, that thought has been in the back of my mind since I was fired, but I had never said it aloud or had anyone tell me that. 

I almost burst into tears right there.
