Another fellow I know started volunteering for several groups while he looked for a job. When he let everyone know he was out of work someone in one of the groups offered him one. They had seen him work and knew he could get things done.

One can be down, but as long as your health holds out you are never out.
......let me add......as long as you do not give in to PLOM disease. ( Poor Little Old Me)--self pity, I am the helpless victim. You are guaranteed opportunity; nothing more. People need to be educated to take advantage of situations, and not to be limited by them--or their own outlook.
