Life Journey

Finally!

That's finally on several scores. The first is finally getting off my butt to write something, anything, in any one of my four blogs. Life can be so distracting. If we don't jump back up on the horse, the critter's likely to end up any old where. Sometimes, we can't even find him, he's wandered so far afield.

Within a few months we'll start seeing just how bad this can get when we start receiving all those "this year in brief at our house" letters stuffed inside Xmas cards. We're all so busy, busy, busy it's hard, without a concerted effort, to pull us back up on the wayward horse.

Finally I've had some movement on the job front. Not a lot, but enough to keep the RV park from kicking me out as they threatened.

My friend Steve (Visible Light), has been willing and able to give me some work. It's not a lot, but enough to pay rent. At this point, anything is better than nothing. And since the work is in my "field" (educational technology) and marketing, it's quite interesting. Bless him!

I finally got an interview for one of the four jobs at the organization where my friend works. It's next Thursday. I'm not sure how this interview relates to all four jobs in which I was interested but I'll find out. The personnel lady was supposed to e-mail me info but so far, nada, even though I called and left her a voice mail. I have a feeling she's either in overwhem or perhaps is an underwhelmed employee. Not a great start. We'll see.

And finally, I've admitted to myself that, yes, I'm depressed again. Not "where are the damned sleeping pills" depressed but "I don't feel like getting dressed today or changing the kitty litter" depressed. Most people love autumn. I don't. I always get depressed when it cools down.

Finally, I'm going to have to get over that and learn to feel positive when the nip's in the air.

Staying Positive with only $8

Yep, that's right. Have a dollar and some change in my wallet and a little over $7 in the bank. When I let myself think about it, it's freaksville! However, I've begun to practice the art of directing my attention to the positive and away from the negative. Even wrote an entry "Being Negative, Beng Positive" in a new blog I've begun.

Synchronicity a Go-Go focuses on philosophy, psychology, creativity, and art--stuff I tend to think about that doesn't fit as well here. Life Journey chronicles my efforts to move from poverty to a life I want to be living, and what makes the difference in getting there.

Keeping my attention focused on the positive--things as simple as the shape and color of clouds drifting by my window as I sit here typing, to the tinkliness of some instrument in a song that's playing on the radio--makes such a difference. It not only helps me feel better but tends to pull other positive things toward me--sort of like a becoming a positive energy magnet. I don't begin to understand how this works, only that it does. What a discovery. Will keep you posted on this one!

This week, I also created a professional blog, TechEduTrain (Technology in Education and Training), about trends in the industry. And is there ever a lot of keep up with in that area! I may even be able to point prospective employers to that blog to, hopefully, show that I know what's going on.

The reason for the delay in posting here is because I've been creating these other blogs. (A fourth is in the planning stages.) It's hard to focus on having only 8 bucks when you're busy!
