Sunday - Second Posting
A respected colleague of mine commented that my bloggings seem down, and don't adequately identify the things I have to be thankful for.
Well, he is right. I obsess far to much about the job search, and lack of success I am having. As I have been told, I can't hire myself - I need to work through this and make my own luck. so, having said that, I need to take time to list some things on the flip side of the coin; and I need to realize that the list far, far outweighs the list of gripes I may have. so, a very short, incomplete list of some of the good things in my life are:
- my health, and that of my family
- my wife who has been supportive and puts up with my rantings. She is not one to let circumstances get her down, and I need to be more like her in my approach.
- my great kids who are a joy to be around
- my friends, both old and new. I have become acquainted with some very good people who have been helping by offering advice, sharing contacts and just being available for coffee and lend an ear.
So, I could go on and on. But the truth of the matter is that my job situation is temporary and hard work and perserverance will lead to a successful outcome. The good things in my life I will have forever as long as I cherish them and hold them dear.
With that, I am going to get away from the keyboard and watch football - something else to be thankful for.
