While working on getting my steps in today, yes im one of those fit bit people who tries to always hit ten thousand steps, the dogs and I decided to take a walk down by the river. Now im not going to say exactly where i live but im in one of the better parts of Columbus and we dont have much trouble around here. I was letting the dogs explore when i noticed something, an old tattered crocheted blanket, some trash piled up that looks like had been a fire to keep warm by and a few articles of clothing. I have to say it shocked me. I know homelessness is an issue everywhere right now and this could have just been some teens partying it up or it could have been a homeless woman using the bridge to stay under for a night or two.
I know how it feels. Ive been down and out a few times. Had it not been for my brother my ex was going to take me to a homeless shelter. Then with all the trouble at my brothers house had it not been for Matt, who is a dear friend I love and respect very much I would have let myself go homeless rather than stay at my brothers any longer.
I just sit here and wonder was it a woman who has nowhere to go? Was she abused? Have a drug issue? Are there kids involved? Soo many unanswered questions. I just hope that whoever it was is safe now and finds their way.
