What to do?

Well I am sitting in front of my pc wondering what I am going to do with the rest of my life. I got laid off friday. I know it's only saturday and I have time to think, but there still seems like there's a sense of urgency. I must take my time and figure out exactly what would make me happy and follow my heart. I've worked since I was 18 yrs old, so here I am 30 with some actual time off...even if it's because of a lay off. I love writing, maybe there's something I can do with that (don't know til I try). No matter what I end up doing, this time I want it to be something I'll love or at least not completely hate haha. This lay off is a good thing, I know it is. My niece was just diagnosed with a very rare disease for which there is no cure so I can spend alot more time with her now. And I'll get to catch up on lost time with all my family. Sometimes a job just becomes so much more and we lose touch with family and friends. We ultimately lose sight of what's important, so I'm stopping to take a look around and be with the ones I care about. I could cry about it and worry about money and a new job, but instead I'll just keep faith and let God take care of it. It feels like I'm just now going to start living. Like I just now took my first breath. I was drowning and didn't even notice it. But now I am alive and I am going to live the life that God has put forth for me. Everything in this world happens for a reason and I might not know the reason for this, but I definately got the message. When God closes a door He opens a window. I'm not trying to preach religion to anyone, your faith is your own, but I won't sit silently. God has a message of love for us all and I think it's time we started sharing it. There is a direction for each and everyone of us and though I don't know mine yet...I know wherever I go from here is a step in the right direction. Be blessed and know love.

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
