I have had a very bad year.
Divorce. House fire. Struggles with anxiety and depression. And, the cherry on top of my bad year sundae has involved looking for a new job.
Finding a new job is worse than internet dating. Well, to be fair, I have very little experience with internet dating, so this is basically hyperbole. Regardless, finding a new job completely sucks.
All of the quotes I heart on Instagram tell me that if I am patient, the Universe will have my back. Well, I am waiting.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful. Really. I have been struggling with a bit of a control issue for maybe 45 years or so. The job search process challenges every part of my need for control. While I understand intellectually that I have no control over anything except my own reaction to this experience, I can’t help being emotional about the unknown parts of this journey I am on.

“Our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.”Alright, Universe. I get it. I’m not in charge. I will keep putting myself out there. The right thing will happen at the right time.
What do you think about tomorrow?
