"Here's To New Beginnings"

It’s a bright sunny day out but still on the nipply side. That’s ok with me because I’m warm. For the last thirty months I have been battling with unemployment and an uncertain future. I spent most of that time looking for work and going to school, so it hasn’t been without an upside. I have accomplished something and that’s always a good thing.

This coming Monday I begin a new adventure, a new job! That is something I haven’t had in such a very long time and I hope and pray to God I don’t go through the last two and one half years again. I am looking forward to this. I have to admit, at first I wasn’t. I’m still a little anxious about it. But the days between my first learning that I have the job and now has been revealing. I was tempted to keep searching for other work and I did, just not with as much gusto as I am accustomed to. I have learned to listen for that still, quiet voice, to be patient in everything. I am glad I did and still am.

So, goals must be set and plans must be made to reach those goals. God! I’m not even sure where to begin. You would think that as many times that I have had to start from scratch I would know how by now. Either way, starting all over again is never easy but it is sure better than giving up. Anyone care to join me?
