grateful

Looking back at the choices I've made in my career, I can't help to realize that as I continued to go through the doors of opportunity, God truly had a hand in seeing me follow through. I was telling my story to a future teacher who also desires to be an administrator. She says well it seems like everything just fell into place for you. During the time I never saw it that way. Even though I have had successes along the way there truly were equal if not more disappointments mixed in too. I just had to pick up and keep going. At this time in my life I am so grateful for all the blessings I have been given. I will never have the million dollar bank account or a bottomless shopping allowance afforded to me. However, I still am a rich individual. Rich in ways that are more of an internal appreciation. It boggles me when I hear people complain about their place of employment. Do they not realize that first of all they have a choice. A choice to stay or go. Or a choice to allow yourself to be happy. Not every day can be a great one, but it can be a blessed one. Days are blessed when you realize that at the end of the day, you still have in your hands what you began with when you woke up. That the people in your life including yourself still have their health and the cherry on top is being able to have a job be something you love. I was asked today twice actually, how is it going for you? How are you liking it? I reply- I love it! For that- I am forever grateful.

happy

Has it been this long since I've last blogged? Well, although it's only been a few months, there is just so much that has happened. I don't know where to start or much less where to end? I do have a new job- more like new role. People ask how is it? My answer is simple- it's different. It brings happiness-happiness to have a tiny part of influence on lives right at the palm of my hands. I have a role that affects change even if it's in a small part it is there. It also brings a huge load of worry on my shoulder. Not necessarily bad worry, but worry that I do the right thing...at the right time. It's not about pleasing everyone more than it is about doing what is right for the right reasons. The bottom line is I love my job! I didn't realize how much I would, but I do. I realize it was where I was meant to be. That sounds so cliche...but it's also what is real. Dreams do come true....when God knows you are ready to take them on. If there is a talent or a dream you have, never allow it to fall behind you. Take it and run with it. In the end, it's not about how much income you bring into your life or home- it's about the life you put into what comes in- to your home.
