Well another year is almost down in the books. I can honestly say that 2011 was the worst year that I can ever remember experiencing. It started with witnessing a man die right in front of me, to being blind sided by my previous employer, to having my hopes shot down time and time again with each job application that I filled out, to a major disappointment when I finally did find a job. If I had to count the number of times that I could not got out of bed or wished that I wouldn't wake up in the morning, I would have lost count a long time ago. Being strong and confident is alot harder that many would think.
The bright spot of my year would be realizing that I have great friends and family that helped pick me up off the ground so many times. I tried so strong to keep a smile on my face and not ask for anything, but those who knew me best could read between the lines and always seemed to know when I really needed help. I can't begin to list the amount of times that I had dinner bought for me or groceries brought over. Not to mention help with my household bills and mortgage. It all humbled me.
My hope for 2012 is to find a job that is a good fit for me and can help me to financially get back on my feet. I also have to put my anger from my previous job behind me once and for all. Yes what they did to me was awful and so very wrong, but if I continue to dwell on it I will never move ahead. I need to just pray for the people that treated me so poorly and hope they will better themselves. I also want to give back to people in need the way people gave back to me. I may not be able to financially help, but I will offer support and encouragement. Finally I want to be sure never to take anything for granted ever again.
Thank you for reading my blog this past year and Happy New Year!!
