To be honest, I can't say that I am unhappy being out of work this time. Maybe I am a happier and healthier me or perhaps after a year, I was just ready for a change. The problem with it all is that I'm not sure what I really want to be doing and where to end up. I guess I am not looking for another layover job that I do because I have to but because it is something that I love. Is that desire even realistic? And, how do you find that? Have you experienced this?
I read a talk recently by Elder Wirthlin called "Come What May and Love It." These words have become a sort of motto during this time and I am looking for ways to love it.
What I'm loving about unemployment, at least right now:
Learning how to navigate unemployment benefits: I was on the phone for two hours yesterday for them only to tell me everything was fine, I swear the computer did not say it was fine. I'm learning to love this one.
Having time to work on my projects: I've pulled out all the projects that need finishing, the quilt, my wedding book (yes, I've been married for three years)
Spending time with friends and family: They have been so supportive and helpful.
What are you loving about your hard times, and I know you are all having them. How did you find your path?
