Day 2

Well, so far so good...2 days in a row. Let's see how many consecutive days I can do this. LOL!

So, yesterday I listed a few of my struggles...today I will talk about what I am doing to remedy these issues!

JOB- I have been reading books, searching the internet, taking online career quizzes, talking with friends, family, and God about it, posting resume on internet, etc. I got my teaching license reinstated (good through September of this year...will be permanent once I finish 9 more Master's hours), but I really don't want to go down that road again. I also interviewed for a position that I would really like to have. It is not like anything I have done in the past, but it has some connection to areas of expertise I have obtained over the past 6 1/2 years of running my business and a lifetime of being an organizational type person. No word yet, but it sounds pretty promising.

WEIGHT- I started back to the Y a month ago, but I still haven't gotten into a weekly groove of 4 or 5 days a week yet. Hopefully that will become a reality starting next week. Tomorrow I begin a weight loss program/Bible study with my parents and others at a local church. Envisioning myself after shedding many much needed to be gone pounds is thoroughly enticing...praying it is the kick start I need as well as a great motiviational and support system!

SPIRITUAL GROWTH- The past 5 months have been a blessing. Finding a place to worship that is welcoming, where those around you are seeking just as you are, that offers ways to grow in faith, and encourages you to be a better Christian is a definite plus. I plan to utilize the people, study sessions, and hopefully numerous mission opportunities offered this year to continue growing in faith :)

BEING SINGLE- well, it isn't like I can go the store and simply pick the best guy for me like a cantaloupe. What I can do is put myself in situations where I may find some suitable possibilities! I also need to make myself more available. I have been afraid of rejection for so long that I tend to close myself off and that needs to be remedied. No, I don't have plans to become a fluzy...just more open to possibility.

Here's to all the possiblities of 2011...may I gain insight, lose weight, find a new career path, and hopefully meet my potential other half!
