A few weeks ago I was sure that I was at the beginning of a really meaningful career path. But it turns out I was wrong. I am now unemployed.

So here I am, trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

It’s going to be a process, people. I guess you can consider this my first step. Gotta start somewhere, right?

So here’s what I am sure of in this moment:

1. I have more time for writing and improving my blogging skills.
2. There are a lot of small home improvement/decor/organizational tasks that I can do around this joint to keep myself occupied.
3. I don’t want to wallow in the sadness I’m feeling.
4. Vodka pairs well with lemonade.
5. My sense of humor is still intact.
6. Music is therapeutic in times like these. Like this song that my blogger friend Mona at https://www.waywardsparkles.com/ recently shared with me.
7. My family loves me unconditionally.
8. So does Radar. Karl too, I’m told.

9. I’m not the only smart, hard-working, talented employee to ever been given the ol’ heave ho in the history of the universe.

10. I will survive and find new ways to thrive. I am not stopping now.
