With Easter this year came a much needed renewal of hope for me. We had a WONDERFUL holiday and my daughter was happy so for me Easter was a HUGE success. I also took the time to focus on what I have and be thankful. Good weather, great family, TONS of support....what more could I ask for? Ok, so I really do need a job but I honestly cannot complain. I believe and have faith that when what is meant for me crosses my path everything will work out.

I have dedicated every morning of this week strickly to job hunting....a solid 4 hours a day I am spending searching for an open door. With any luck I will find something.

I read a really great quote in the paper today. I can't repeat it word for word but the jist of it was that believing there is a solution to something will lead you to the solution. In order to reach any goal we may set for ourselves and/or our families, we must first believe in the end result with all our heart and soul. That faith and belief in turn pushes us to look further and will take us down the path to achieve that goal. Believing opens possibilities which would otherwise go overlooked had we not believed we could find them. Everyday begins a new journey. Everyday has it's own obstacles we must go through and at the end of each day we are that much more wise and our strength increased. Though we will inevitably falter at times - it is only natural as we are human - we must always remember to stay focused on what lies ahead rather than analyzing what was and is not behind us. Walking backwards makes us miss everything in front of us making it impossible to make the most out of life. Let go of what you cannot change or control and embrace what you are blessed with and what will be.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL! :)
