(a picture of my house this morning)Yesterday-
BRETT GOT A JOB
He has been working on landing this job for at least a month now...
(oh the misery of learning patience)
He officially signed the offer papers & this morning... he even has a business call.
Yes- we have been blessed & YES- we have learned many lessons
- me particularly-
that I don't want to forget so I don't have to learn them ... again.
IT's only been 3 months- (wow we truly are blessed thank you for your prayers)
but it feels like so much longer.
Things I have learned:
1. sometimes life is not fair so pull up your big girl panties & move on
2. a good lawyer is vital
3. I can cook really well- this is a gift that I am grateful for.
4. I can be positive & positive energy brings positive happenings
5. my family can be strong & we stick together
6. depression sucks- but doesn't have to suck the life out of ya
7. Heavenly Father watches out for us & answers prayers in mysterious ways
8. We need to be better prepared for a "rainy" day. Even though Brett was "top" in his division in sales- that didn't guarantee he would have a job.
9. Things are not important- people are important (I already knew that... just sayin')
10. When the goin' gets tough we should look out for each other. All the people out there who have prayed for us, left sweet comments, brought treats, been kind & positive- thank you- It meant the world & still does.
For my 1,000 post-
I want to say
thank you
Thank you for reading- for your encouraging emails & comments.
Thank you for caring about my family & me.
Thank you for saying hi- telling me you're a reader - and encouraging me to write. I love writing.
Thank you for caring about my kids & Brett. They mean the world to me, but then you know that.
I'm working on being "more real & more honest" with this blog... it's a hard change. I'm a people pleaser & not always true to my real feelings. I look at life through rose colored glasses- that works for me- so mostly by not being honest, I'm trying to be positive.
I know this job will not mean all is well & I can just lay down & quit...
but it sure feels good!
love~
