Patience

Today has been one of those days where I really needed to practise my patience. I can honestly say that this is usually not that much of a challenge for me. I’m used to taking my time when doing certain physical tasks that don’t come as easily to me as they do others. In the end, I make it work, and if one way produces no results, I simply find another. During the past couple of years I have tried to apply similar methods to my job search. I’ve found fulfillment in volunteering and writing. However, some days can be more challenging than others.

I believe that there is an opportunity out there that is the right one for me, but I find myself coming up against a lot of walls lately. Every time I think I’m on the path that could lead back to employment, another curveball is thrown my way. Even so, I don’t have a choice but to keep seeking, keep writing and keep fighting. I have to remind myself that patience has worked in my favor before.

I’m trying to think about the positive...the beautiful weather after all the rain, having lunch with a friend tomorrow, spending time with my LOVE family. Today will pass, and I’ll be one step closer to a brighter future, someway, somehow...
