Thanks for hanging in there on that last post. Like everyone's life, some days are better than others. Yesterday I overwhelmed with the amount of change I've been through and the instability that is inherent with being unemployed. And just plain tired. Of course, it might have helped me to leave my cocoon and breathe in fresh air...but that is for another day.
Thankfully, today was a different day. Enjoyed talking with a few friends. And had my first appointment at Bellevue Community College about going back to school. It was so refreshing to be on a campus with the possibility of engaging in structured learning. I forgot about that energy bounding in the brisk air to a classroom. Turns out the program that would be most beneficial for my career is probably not covered under funding through worker retraining. However, I have a one-on-one with a counselor on friday to compare the 2 project management programs. It is coming in clearer focus to me that my next steps will be schooling and work simultaneously. And if that is the journey, so be it.
Also this evening I attended a workshop on communication. It was fascinating and inspiring. And gives me hope for when I venture back out into the dating scene again. I love my Chuck and our relationship. Our love will always be cared in my heart and soul. But, my dearest wish is to find another love to share my life journey with. It gave me hope when I step back out there I can do so with confidence and clarity.
This day was hopeful and falls in the better days category.
See, the mental health day helped! And, yay you, you got up today and were ready to face the new challenges! I would say that you have already accomplished a lot for today. I am proud for you! Oh, and good luck with going back to school. THAT would be a challenge for me!
