Hi Jeni.... would you post this on the group for me? Thanks!! Hello Everyone!! I sure do miss being able to on the group with you all. I think of you all every day and hope all is as well as can be with each of you. It's 7:19 pm.... the library closes at 8. Would love to get some threads ffrom the group sent to me when someone is able so I can know what is going on. I'm off Friday, so I'm going to go talk to a couple of places about my computer. Wish me luck! Here's some of my news: I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine what it is like to smile all the time and be happy all the time at work??? That's what I do. To be free of the dark/angry/negative energy I often had to deal with at my old job is such a major difference. I did not fully realise how bad the oppression was untill I got out of it. Now, at this job, everyone is so friendly, kind (sincerely, not fake), and it's like I've known them a long time...it's so easy to talk to everyone. No longer a need to have my 'radar' up, or my guard up.... no need to walk on eggshells to keep from sending the boss over the edge. Plus... in the background, constant, uplifting, soft Christian music for emotional/spiritual support. There is a peace there... that was never allowed at the school store. So I am just soaking it up big time. Add to that.... being surrounded by the things I have always totally loved..... crafts, and home decor.... I am 'bursting at the seams happy'. Now... come October/November when it starts to be a holiday madhouse....???.....I might sing a different tune....lol. I'll let ya'll know. Money is super low right now. I get my first paycheck on the 19th.... and rent is due on the 15th... and it will not be enough. So I need another part time job of 10-15 hours a week to make ends meet. Everyone is hiring now because college kids left. So I feel confident it will all work out in time. Right now.... I'm just enjoying being free to feel happy at my job.... free of the anxiety and the need to hold back and watch every word etc. Free of the fear I had to live with to a certain degree over there. It's like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders mentally and emotionally. I feel like I can "do anything" now... work anywhere. My confidence and self-esteem has grown tremendously.... I'm a totally different person than I was 2 years ago when I told him I wanted a divorce.\\ Almost out of time..... I'll check back in soon! Love to you all... Grace |
