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.
