I jumped ahead of myself... let's start from the top.
Let's go back to the infamous "hunt" for a job I was on. I was on the "hunt" for a good amount of time, that had changed a lot of my original perspectives on life for the better. It was very exhausting on me, mainly mentally and emotionally during that time period, and something I hope I do not ever have to face again. Being "job-less" was not on my bucket list of things to accomplish within my life. I am a person that simply just does not enjoy living off of government checks (which wasn't completely awful, I will admit), and was not okay with doing nothing everyday, for a lack of a better word. Okay, so I wasn't exactly doing nothing, but that was only because I was forcing the motivation within myself to actually not be, well, lazy. I helped my older brother and sister-in-law, and would watch my nephew a few times during the week. I designed a blog for my friends clothing boutique (which I am still currently doing/involved in; check it out! http://tenderbabesboutique.blogspot.com/). I would work a day of camp every now and than if a holiday came up. I volunteered at my church with the youth ministry program (again, currently still involved). I'm sure I was doing more, but lastly, I was consistently talking to people, searching, and applying to jobs whenever I could. It is safe to say that I was definitely a very busy unemployed person, and I am happy with the fact that I continued to put my available time to good use as best as I could.
I am more than happy to say now after all the hard searching, constant prayers, support from family and friends (whom I can not thank enough for helping me get through the whole process) I finally did it. You are now looking at, (or should I say reading about) the new addition to the Baja Sharkeez Corporate Accounting Department! Yes, I am FINALLY employed once again! And I feel more blessed than ever, to be able to say "I have a job." A very good one too, that is hard work (I mean it's accounting), but that I am enjoying so far. Despite whether I enjoy it or not though, the important thing is that I have a job, unlike a very large percentage of our country at the moment. You know what? It feels pretty damn good to be doing something with my life again.
You must know though, I do not despise that whole time where I was "job-less". That whole unemployed period just made me really appreciate alot about life that I never was really taking the time to stop and appreciate. It gave me a chance to re-evaluate alot about my life, and I am grateful I actually had a moment to stop and do that. Job or no job, I will forever try my hardest not to let life in general just pass me by. Going through the motions is a no, no. Being actively apart of life and actually living it, basically is not even a question. Join me, as I embark on my next chapter of life.
Work hard, play hard, enjoy it all, soak it in... don't let it just pass you by. <3
