I wish it could be different ...

I guess it's time to rethink my life...since change has been thrust upon me.

I recently became unemployed. That is a scary thing to be faced with in this economy. It happened last week, it's taken me a while to want to talk about it.
My sweet friend, Melissa, gave me a bracelet that says, among other things, "Be Brave" . I don't feel brave right now, but I want to be.
Isn't it funny when one thing goes wrong in your life ... everything that's wrong comes to the surface. Needless to say I have shed alot of tears ... I need to dare that my life can be different and go forward in faith.
I have so much to be thankful for, first the Gospel and my Savior and my testimony.
I have a great family, wonderful friends and a crazy cat ... these are all good things!
I guess we are not always warned when we turn the pages of our life story that there are new chapters lurking in the shadows...but here I am. So the only thing to do is trust that it will all work out eventually.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

Seriously losing it!....

I woke up very early Friday morning and had time to turn on the news before leaving for work. I quickly located the remote and sat down to enjoy an hour with Dan, Kerri, Damon and Big Buddah! Locating the remote you wouldn't think would be a challenge for me as I am the only person who watches my TV, but alas, it is quite a challenge.

After about an hour of TV, I realized that I was pushing it, so I stood up, could not locate the remote and so I turned it off manually and ran out the door!
Work on Friday was not any different to any other Friday and I worked the entire day with no major trauma ... I was just getting ready to leave and ran into the copy room to grab some printing I had done. A co worker was in there with me and we made small talk as we both located our print jobs. She gave me a strange look and focused on my chest to which I curiously asked her, "Is everything Ok?" She replied, " What's that in your dress?" I reached up and touched my chest and laughed .."Oh, it's just my cell phone!" I often place it down my shirt, don't ask me why ... I guess I think my bra is an extra "pocket" for treasures ...who knows really. I reached down my dress neckline to pull out the cell phone as it was obviously in a very distracting position ... "That's a cell phone?" my co-worker quizzed, I was laughing so hard, that it would have been helpful to have on depends undergarments ... "No, it's my TV remote!" I snorted ... "and don't ask why it was there, I could not possibly tell you!" hence my friends, I am seriously losing it!
