Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name. - Robert Louis Stevenson
My dear friend sent this to me - so true - so many people are being very courageous in hard times - with the current economy and job market - redundancies everywhere you look - in fact the friend that send me this was made redundant this week after 21 years with the company - I was made redundant yesterday (from the same company) and another friend of mine (from a different company) was also made redundant. These times call for inner strength and courage - and to have faith that there will be something better round the corner. To remember that it's not personal - that it's not a rejection of you - or you that's redundant - but simply a business decision and your job that's redundant.
We always have to look on the bright side of life - and although I'm looking for work straight away - if it doesn't appear - I will embrace the positive. The upside for me as a single parent - school holidays with my kids!! yay!! I won't have to farm them out to my sister and mum - I can actually spend the time with them myself. Finally I will also have a little time to myself too - time to paint - to create - to get back to my passions - after working such long hours with no breaks - holidays or days off - this is going to be quite a novel experience.
Let's see what's round the corner ......

Bucket list? mmmm...
I still want to learn to fly, and to go up in a hot air balloon.
But for the every day things? That's easy. Good health, and time with good friends. And it would be nice to do a secret kindness every day. And those things are all in my own hands! Makes you realise that blessings are all around, and pretty easy to count, really!
Ooooh yes - would love to do the hot air balloon as well - in actual fact I always had this romantic notion as a child that the man of my dreams would whisk me off in a hot air balloon and propose .....lol
I agree ... blessings are all around ... we just need to open our eyes, heart and minds to see them sometimes :-)
