Layoffs are a possibility for so many of us. I made it through the first round but will there be a second. Your mindset is so healthy and I hope it I get dinged that I am able to accept it as an opportunity. I faced a huge career hurdle several years ago but it turned out to be an open door that I walked through and thrived. My life has changed again since then. I got married and am continuing to live as "we" instead of must "me". It's all about being open to change.She Rides a Bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269615938898501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-25528801104776934172009-05-03T22:36:00.000-07:002009-05-03T22:36:00.000-07:00Trisha- Funny thing is, I knew weeks before that i...Trisha- Funny thing is, I knew weeks before that it was coming and I was getting impatient for it to happen! Something told me that I needed it to happen before the good stuff could come along.<br /><br />Kat- While i could take credit for all of it, the fact is I am amazingly lucky in having a wonderful husband. He is so supportive of all the things I am trying, and is able to support the family (financially) on his own for the first time in years. If it were not for that, I'd have to huff it for a job : ) But.... a blessing is a blessing and I will take them where I can get them ; )Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-73031009937555065062009-05-03T21:59:00.000-07:002009-05-03T21:59:00.000-07:00Wow, Adrienne, you are amazing! Congratulations on...Wow, Adrienne, you are amazing! Congratulations on the layoff, I must say, I completely understand. You see, the same thing happened to me, a company I worked for for 12 years, in middle management, of product design. It was great, travel, pay, all the perks and I remember how absolutely inspired rather than just energetically rushed my life became once I had unlocked the handcuffs on my time, all the while I too loved my job, and thought they were bracelets. It is amazing how blessings do come in odd packages sometimes. And to have the wherewithal to go with it and find yourself in a new rewarding place, bravo!Katnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-79194390255320487162009-05-03T16:37:00.000-07:002009-05-03T16:37:00.000-07:00What a positive way to look at it.

A friend of mine got laid off and a month later, found a new job that's a better fit for her talents and pays more -- sometimes something that seems negative is actually just a chance for you to take a new direction, as you said. Good luck!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741439556352428939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-76387696456356011862009-05-01T16:06:00.000-07:002009-05-01T16:06:00.000-07:00I liken it to spring.

How many people could be artists or rocket scientists or world class athletes if only they had enough time at that pivotal moment to recognize the possibilities?Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151259608195581483.post-7297328340668299202009-05-01T15:51:00.000-07:002009-05-01T15:51:00.000-07:00if i've ever had a proper vacation, i don't rememb...if i've ever had a proper vacation, i don't remember it. but being between jobs: that's living! it's amazing how much life you can pack into those interstitial spaces. enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.toddhttp://clevercycles.com/noreply@blogger.com
