Quotable Bits- July 10

Photo Credit

It's always amazing to me that I think I know what I want.  When it doesn't happen, I'm devastated.  Then something new comes along, and it's better.  We don't know what is waiting, just around the next bend.  

In May I assumed I was getting a contract with the school I was teaching at, and I didn't make plans to look for another job.  I was sure I knew exactly what I wanted.  Two weeks before school ended I was shocked when I was told the school didn't have the funding to make my job full-time as I had been led to believe since August.  It felt like my life was crashing down around me.  

Now, however, I am preparing for the next chapter of my life.  After a frantic search that seemed to take forever (in reality it was about six weeks), I got hired with a school that seems to be perfect for me.  I am in training now to learn about specific teaching methods they use, and school starts at the end of this month.  Wow, how quickly things can change!

I'm sure it's your eternal positive thinking that brings these good things to you - you inspire me with your positivity in spite of what you guys have gone through

Thanks Fi. I try. I'm not always successful with the positive thinking, but I always attempt to get there. Thanks for the encouragement!
