Change

I wrote a resume for myself today. I haven't written a resume in 17 years! It was very difficult to put into words what I think my strengths are to someone else. I am basically a stay at home mom who most of the time doesn't feel like I a viable contributor to society. Ha. How is that for some negativity!? Yuck!

Anyway, I need a job. I don't think that I need a full time job, just something that brings in a few hundred dollars per month to help pay our bills. Plus I want a bit of a cushion if and when I don't have full apartments again.

I love staying at home and taking care of things, but it's also time for me to be, well, me again. I miss talking to adults. I miss being an earner. I miss having some validation of the good work that I can do, because you know being a mom is pretty thankless..ha ha.

I read a quote today that I fell in love with:

Change for the better requires your effort.Change for the worse requires you do nothing at all.

Gosh, I love that!!! I actually think that I am going to post that at my desk. I have been feeling like I am standing in the middle of a merry-go-round while everything is spinning I am just in one spot. Not moving. No advancement. I need to make some changes, but change paralyzes me with fear! I am trying to make a conscious effort to make some small change everyday, and that way eventually I will get to a different spot and be able to reassess my goals/dreams.
