Ask and You Shall Receive....

Ya know how I said I was ready for change and that I was going to embrace it?  I had a major change happen to me a couple of weeks ago.  The job I have been at for many, many, MANY years laid me off.  I wasn't happy there.  In fact, I hated it.  And for years I had been saying that I wanted to make a change and find a new job, etc.  Well, I now have that opportunity.  The decision was made for me.  And the great thing is that I feel very happy about it.  This frees me up to be able to do many things that I have been wanting to for a long time.  I will be able to volunteer at places while I am searching for a new job.  I will be able to finish my novel.  My future is wide open.  I am hopeful and excited about moving forward.  Yes, I am nervous about being jobless but I have a good feeling about this.

Now, I haven't been very spiritual the last few years.  I rarely talk to a higher power or ask for help from that power.  I wish well for others and toss those thoughts out into the universe in hopes that some cosmic power will make things good for those in need.  For some reason, I feel like someone or something is looking out for me.  And that's why I'm okay with my current situation.  I feel like I am being guided to where I need to be.  I am meant for something else and I am being steered in that direction.  It's rather exciting!  I know that this may not be an easy situation but I feel like this is something I need and that it is going to be positive for me.  Good things ahead for me.  I just know it.  And I know that SOMEONE is looking out for me.  I am going to put my trust in that SOMEONE and believe that this is meant to be.  I am going to take the opportunity and milk it for all it is worth!

Me. Me. Me.....sometimes

I'm a giver.  I give and give and give until I have nothing left.  I don't really ask for much in return.  Don't get me wrong, I love being able to help those I care about when they need it but sometimes, I want the focus to be on ME.  It would be nice to have someone go out of their way to check on me or ask me how I am doing or if there is anything they can do to make my day/life better.  I try to be Wonder Woman and do it all but it can be overwhelming.  Right now, I feel like I have nothing left.  I'm at a point where I don't even have enough left in the tank to take care of me and my needs.  I do for others what I would like for them to do for me because I believe that is how things work in life - you give and sometimes you take when you need to but one should always give back (which is why I am still looking into charity volunteer opportunities).  I know there are some people in my little world that genuinely care about me and that may not even realize that I need some "me" time but all they have to do is ASK.  The simple act of asking would mean a lot to me but I don't want someone to ask because they feel obligated to do so.  I want them to ask because they care.  I would like to know that I am in their thoughts like they are in mine and that they want my happiness as much as I want theirs.  And that's where it is today...

Smiling on the inside,
