Jobs, Health and Happiness

Title sounds like a New Years Goal huh? Close but yet so far. Lemme explain.

I have now applied for 110 open positions all over the country. I'm pretty sure I have carpel tunnel now, hehehe. Why do I now look hard core into jobs instead of right after I graduated? Well, for one, more jobs are open now. Secondly, I have been working at Dollar Tree Deals since July and lets just safely say that I do not belong there. I am extremely thankful to have it. After all it is allowing me to pay my Sallie Mae loan but I had to deferr my government loans until Febuary hoping I could find fulltime work between August and then...no such luck yet. But I am hopeful like that.

Most importantly, I've just decided that the time has come for me to make my own happiness. Instead of setting a New Years goal I want to set a lifestyle goal. So part of this job hunt has been to find me a job I can turn into a career and one that I look forward to walking into every morning.

With that comes another lifestyle goal. Better health. I want to live a long, healthy, satisfying life with the wonderful man I am lucky enough to wake up beside every morning. We've already started cutting out any plastic that has BPA in it, soaps/shampoo & conditioner with SLS, parabens and pthalates in it. The next step in that, I've decided, is to cut out processed sugar. Oh my! I do enjoy my Dr. Pepper! I'll keep you updated on how that works out.

I'm being proactive in getting the job of my dreams, I am making myself healthy for a long life and finally I'm just being grateful for every day I have. I am making my own happiness.

Much happiness,
K
