Okay... if the running blog had titles for each post like my personal blog does, I would entitle this post: I will be Alright!
I've had some time to think about things over the last few days and I have decided that this lay off is a blessing of sorts. Is it a blessing not to have an income, no? But, it has definitely been a blessing to spend some quality time with my daughter. I got to be home the day she decided she wanted to just walk all over, no more crawling for her. I would have missed that if I were on work on Wednesday. I have been able to spend a little time with some long lost friends and take Melanie to the park. And my house... well the front two rooms are the cleanest they have been in YEARS! I have more organizing and work to do, but I feel at peace when I sit in my living room. (Here's two pictures for you)
But even better than that... I feel excited about the change that this may bring. I'm excited that I may be able to learn something new, and even start over somewhere else. Yes, I may get my job back at Atwell... but there are no guarantees. I have been there for 7 years, and for the last year I have been worried about my job and stressed out. That stress is now gone. I'm not living each day wondering about the next and if I will GET laid off. That horrible burden has been lifted. Sure, I don't exactly HAVE a job yet... but I have faith that it will work out. I know that this new obstical will bring about hard things, but it will also bring about good things and eventually make us a little wiser, a little stronger, and a little closer together.
Okay... I'm done. :o) |
