In a Jiffy...

Today marks my 50th blog post. The time has passed so quickly! It’s been fun, therapeutic, and encouraging. I’ve told you funny stories, told you serious stories, but mainly, I just shared my life with you. It’s a great feeling knowing that someone is out there waiting to read what I have to say, even if it’s just a handful of folks. For a couple of months now, you guys have followed along with me, listening to my ups and downs within my job search. I think it’s appropriate that I had a job interview today.

I felt like the interview went well today. The company seems great, and it’s a wonderful opportunity. Due to the fact that I’ve had so many disappointments in the last year, I’m a little gun-shy. No matter how optimistic I want to be, there’s always that feeling deep down that maybe what I’m going through is just another disappointment. I suppose time will tell. I do have faith that what is supposed to happen will happen. I have no regrets. I prepared myself for the interview the best I could. I went in and showed the awesome person that I am and let them know what I have to offer them. I kept it real, so to speak.

Maybe it’ll work out; maybe it won’t. Regardless, I’m beginning to think that I’m seeing a very awesome story unfold. The best stories are rollercoaster rides. People triumph over trials and difficulties. My story would be pretty boring if everything went right all the time. Of course, I’ve got to have a great story to tell. I’ll sit back, enjoy the ride, and remember that it can’t be like this forever. I know that if this job doesn’t work, I already have my sights on another direction. I know that no matter how difficult an experience is, no matter how much hurt it causes, there is a definite reason for it. I know that one day, maybe soon, a really great opportunity will be out there waiting just for me, maybe somewhere I least expect it.

I have come to realize that no matter what kind of tough situation I go through, my positive attitude is what will keep me sane and lead me through it. I have good days, and I have bad ones. Today is a good day because an opportunity has been presented to me. I’ll have to wait a little longer to find out if it is opened for me.

Even if it’s not my turn, I’ve got that list of endless possibilities to rely on…
