Pure Michigan!!
Just
moved back to Michigan. There I was -
very well paid job in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida when my boss brought in my new
supervisor. Kick in the professional
teeth, big time. I put my two week's
notice in that day (they approved one week).
Found a house to rent in West Bloomfield, loaded a Penske 16 foot van,
put the mini on a tow trailer and off I went.
All within two weeks. Crazy,
right? Right! Here I am two weeks in and getting antsy on
the job front - really only looking one week - as the house had to be moved
into. Working with two recruiters but
getting more results with applying on my own - that always happens to be the
case. Recruiters move slow. I have some cushion but not enough for my
comfort. I must admit patience is not
one of my virtues. I have had one phone
interview with another happening tomorrow.
What
I am trying to focus on, is that this wouldn't have happened so easily if it
weren't meant to be. Even Tracie, Brian
and Quinn moving to Michigan is a miracle as Brian got transferred to PWC of Detroit. For the first time ever - my whole family
will be within arm's reach.
Awesome! My sons and their family
live 45 minutes away, my dad one and one-half hour away, and Tracie will be
living super close as well.
When
I left Florida, I had no remorse/regrets at all. The closer I got to Michigan, the more
excited I became. The beauty of Michigan
is vivid. The impact of the flowers and
the freshness of the air are invigorating.
My dog and I have dramatically increased the amount of time we spend
outside. Visited with my dad - pulled
weeds in his garden while Rocky entertained with his quirkiness. It was good to hear dad laughing out loud. That weekend I went up to Kurt's to meet the
newest addition to the family, my granddaughter Tegan RuthAnn. Absolutely beautiful.
It
is frustrating to realize no matter how excited I am to be here, my mind and
thoughts veer toward...gotta find a job...gotta find a job. God has always looked out for me and my
future so I have faith. I think it is
the way I was raised. I have always
worked so this idle time goes against the grain. I know it takes time to find a job so I am
constantly reminding myself, "you will have a job in no time and you will
love it!". Will see if the pep
talks work.
Take Care and keep it R.E.A.L.!
