My Little Life

The average day in my mind.

The Sting of Termination

"Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."-Anonymous 

     So I was "let go" yesterday. My place of employment had decided that I had too many absences to remain an employee there. They then proceeded to inform me that I could still be rehired. Although I think that that is good news, I cannot help but wonder why they would even "let me go" in the first place if they are just going to rehire me anyway. It does not make any sense to me. 

    And so I sit here, thinking of my future. All of the possibilities that are open to me, and I wonder what I really want to do with my life.  Am I destined for great things, or will I just glide through life on the mediocre path.

  There are so many things that I have thought about doing. That I know I would be good at, and have the possibility of doing. But I am also not a fan of wasting time. So I do not wish to travel down a path just to have to start again on a new one. Does that make me foolish? Not willing to waste this time and money in order to have a better future. Am I missing out on life? So many questions and so little answers. ~RiinaCalibera

Modern Day Cowboys

I've noticed lately that due to the economy the man of the house is having to drive, live, and work hours away from their loved ones in order to provide a financial future for their family. 

My grandparents are someone I base my analysis on. My grandma & grandpa just celebrated their 30 year anniversary, and when they got back to Texas my grandpa got a call that he needed to be out in West Virginia A.S.A.P. for work. SO he quickly packed up his things and went to work. It was disastrous for both of them. They had wanted to spend some alone time together and because of work (and money) they were unable to. To add on to that analysis my grandpa on a standard work schedule lives 5 hours away from my grandma at all times. Even though she acts like she's okay, I can tell that it bothers her. But she stands strong. Just like the women in the old times. That would stay home and care for their children while the men went off to work, anywhere they could find it.

It would seem that this economy is forcing people to resort back to habits of the old days.

Just a thought.

There is too much darkness in life these days. Not many take the time or even have the ability to see the light and beauty of the world. Stop being consumed by what intends to bring you down.

Stand strong; shoulders back, head held high and notice all that's around you.

There are wonders that are being missed. <3
