Happy… Thoughts

I am going to be happy… when I figure out or you let me know how I can be of help!

I have been working on my blog, even changed it, hoping it would be easier to navigate.  Now I am concentrating on the content for it.   I really need some help on this.  I know what helps me to stay  and be happy.  What I don’t know is what would help you to have that Happy…Thought all day long, or most of the day.

With that said let me carry on with what is one my mine.  That could be dangerous, but I’ll try to keep it light.

When reading the paper this morning they were talking about all the people out of work that are trying to get there unemployment.  My heart really goes out to them, because I have been there.  Only I wasn’t laid off, because of lack of work or the economy going to the dogs.

I was just plan FIRED! Then after I was fired I had to go through a 4 hour unemployment hearing and 86 page transcript to prove I deserved unemployment.  During the unemployment hearing my self esteem took a lot of hits.  I was told that I attack people, scared people, didn’t get along with anyone, and was angry all the time, hated my job and the list went on.  The reason for all this abuse was because the office manger was trying to hide her own reasons for getting me out of the way (which was to have a friend of hers take my job).  She was running scared in fear of me taking this to the labor board, because there was no reason for my firing.  Anyway that is another story.

What I have found after being fired is that there is always another door that is going to open.  Someday one looks back on what has happened and say to themselves, “Now I understand and am very grateful my life took that turn.” We don’t see or understand the reasoning behind what is really happening at the time and that is when you have to just plain exercise the faith.

I have had to make some changes in my life since this happened.  My husband and I have made sacrifices, because of it.  Retirement is going to take a little longer, but we are both better people because of it.  I have found a much better direction for my life and it is more fulfilling.

To start with I love doing my blog and website, giving it everything I have to help others.  That is so rewarding.  With my personal life since I have not been working outside the home, I have been able to spend time with our grandchildren.  When the kids need help with babysitting I can help.  A few years ago my mother was not doing well.  I was able to help her more and then finally bring her to the state I live in and she was with me. It was a blessing for me that I was FIRED.

I look back and see what I would have missed out on if I was still working for this company that really didn’t care about their employs anyway.  They did me a great service.

Now I might say it would have even been better if I had never gone to work for them.  If I had never worked for them my youngest daughter would never had met her husband and we would not have a new grandchild on the way.

Things always work out for the best; we just get a little impatient in seeing the whole picture at times.  Never under estimate the power of time and waiting to see the big picture for your life. That is why it is so important when trying to find happiness that we live for the moment and enjoy what life brings in the future.

All of you beautiful people that are struggling because of losing your job don’t give up the faith. Hang in their new doors and better doors are going to open.  You are going to survive this time in your life.  Wait patiently to see the whole picture your life is taking.  Never forget, “THERE IS A REASON FOR ALL THINGS.”

God be with you and Bless you all in these hard times.

Just me
