Poshmark has given me something to do and fill my time, especially after not only losing my job in Decemeber 2024 (downsizing)  but also after totally wrecking my ankle and having to be a couch sitter for 3 months!

It started as a hobby but now the extra income is helpful.

I could read- but I don't particularly like to.  

I could get another job but I cannot stand on my ankle for very long.  I do not want to go through the hassle of getting recertified as a teacher. Plus, it would cost more to take 90 credit hours to fulfill requirements than another job could repay in a decent amount of time.

Yes, I know, I could volunteer.  That's a good possibility.  I was thinking of the ASPCA.

With Poshmark, I get a very good feeling that I am helping others by providing good items that make them happy.  

It also helps my friends who give me items to sell for them.  They appreciate the extra bit of money.

One big thing it does is to help my older sister.  She loves helping others.  She has some health concerns and I take her thrifting which takes her mind off things.  She enjoys finding things for my closet.  

So, Poshmark gives me hope and purpose.  Hope - that the future will be active and beneficial.  Purpose - that I am helping others.
