Favorite time of the year.....

Well here we are, the fall of 2009...whhhh a year I think I just want to forget. It will be a year that I was let go from JFK after almost 15 years of service..(do I still sound bitter, yea) and I am really hoping that as of November 14, 2009 my New year will start and things for me will just go for the better? Who knows right...all I can say is God gives us only as much as we can take and this year I really hope he is finished with me because I feel I have had more than I can take in one year....LOL.

BUT it is my favorite time of the year, the fall leading into winter and Christmas time. Who doesn't? It's "The most wonderful time of the year" as they say. I went into Publix yesterday and there in the Hallmark store was a window decorated in "Christmas" now that is early..but they say the malls have also started..it's fine with me because I know that no matter what your going through Christmas time is the time for Joy.!!

So no matter what comes my way from here on in I will take it in stride (I hope) and move on to bigger and better things..(Again, I can only hope)..LOL

So far so good..

Well I have been at my new job just about one week now and I absolutely love it! Do you think it's too soon to say that yet? because that is the way I feel. I am picking up on things pretty quickly and I just want to learn more as the time goes on.

After being let go at JFK and then having to go through all the rejections time after time in places that everyone said "Oh Karen this job is for you" or Karen they will take you for the position" ETC....Please, my self esteem was down into the ground, it was horrible. I have always had great work ethics (thanks Dad) and that is one thing I could always be proud of and JFK and all the other places took that away from me for awhile. Coming to AAS was the first position that really took my resume and looked at it. It was the first place to interview me for more than 10 minutes (I interviewed almost 1 hour) and they were the first place to actually tell me I had great experience and were looking forward to working with me. So, I guess that is one of the reasons I am so happy here to begin with and then of course working with Joyce who is just wonderful period and now I get to work with her.

I am doing pretty good these days. Now all I have to do is loose 50 pounds get approved for my loan modification with my Mortgage company and I will be perfect.... ( I can dream can't I?)

Back to the swing of things......

I have to say how nice I feel now that I am getting back into the "Swing" of things. I am up early and I am out the door by 7:20am and sometimes earlier to get Ayden to School and myself to work before 8:00am. I have more energy and less stress now. I know I will eventually have my days because everyone does but I am happy to start having "Good" days because they were few and far between before. I am also happy to be talking to my previous co-workers and not feel like they feel sorry for me, they just talk to me because they want to, which is really nice! Some won't and that's o.k, like I have said before it wasn't meant to be and they were never really a co-worker/friend that means anything to me.

So, so far so good and I can't wait to see what "New" things will come my way....Always remember ..FAITH....FAITH...FAITH...it will always keep you going!
