The Blessing of Patience

In two days it will have been three months since I stopped putting myself through hell in a place that didn't deserve my positive energy.  I still miss those individuals who appreciated my odd, quirky ways though.  It is strange even now, after the time that has passed, when I speak about the place I worked at and refer to it in the present tense. It's as if my mind thinks I am still there.  I guess after six years of working somewhere, it will take a little longer than mere months to dismiss it from my immediate thoughts.

These last three months have renewed my positive vibes and sense of quirkiness!  It has been like coming out of a dark cave after a long hibernation and smelling the fresh air and hearing the sounds of nature.  There is a bright light that I have missed for so long surrounding me and I feel re-energized.  It hasn't been all cotton candy and cracker jacks during this time but I have had the time to reflect and recharge.

Through out my time out of work I have re-discovered the simple pleasures I have been setting aside.  I have made so many excuses not to relax and do my hobbies because something came up at work or this important thing has come up that I need to do instead.  I was able to re-connect with my family, my hobbies and me!

The one thing that I encouraged myself with, throughout this time, is to have patience!  It is difficult, believe me I know, to sit and search for a job in site after site and wonder when the day will come that I will get the call for a new job.  It can be disheartening at times but you have to remind yourself to be once again patient. Your time will come. 

Don't be discouraged!  I am not just talking about getting a job, that just happens to be what I am needing at the moment.  You might be searching for your perfect someone, friends, a baby, a pet, a car, a home, inspiration, a dream to come true....be Patient.  It may take a while but in some shape or form it will happen for you......it just might not happen how you picture it happening.

I really do believe that there is a specific plan for each and every one of us.  There is a time, place and way things will happen and we just need to keep ourselves on task until our specific plan comes to pass.  There is a reason for everything that happens to us in our lives.  Yes, I truly feel and believe this.

I mean no, we don't want bad things to happen to us of course.  Without negative things there would not be positive. Without black their would not be white. Without up there is no down. No Ying without Yang.  You get the point!  So acceptance and patience I believe are key to moving on and moving up!

That all said, I did finally get a call for a position!  Now it wasn't exactly what I was thinking but like I said there is a plan out there in the Universe for me and I just need to take it day by day and go with the flow.  It is a true blessing that came when I least expected it!

It is a temp job and that is cool, someday I hope to have a permanent job again but for now I am grateful for what I have and celebrating my re-entry into the workforce.  I know it is more than what many people have in the country at the moment and I truly truly appreciate my blessing.

I will continue to keep positive and pray for those seeking for what will help them be more positive. Tonight I will Pray once again that I will continue to receive the Blessing of Patience and that all of you do to!

Have a Positively Blessed night!
