THE LOVE OF MY LIFE is being so patient with me. I really do appreciate it. I don't want to cause him to change from Dr Jekyll back to Mr Hyde again. I don't know what is wrong with me at the moment. It's not the time of the month; THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and my children are here; it is a glorious sunny day AND I am not at work. Why on earth I am feeling so miserable? It can't be SAD so may be I am depressed?
Who knows?
To try and get myself back on track, and because it is the beginning of new month, I thought I would take a look at 'The Really Useful Book for Successful Living' by Bob Dix. Ironically, the theme for the month of May is - A Successful Career. Well for those of you that have noticed my other blog posts I don't have a very fulfilling job. I have been waiting, and watching, for a long while to see if a job in my profession would come up at a particular company that I am interested in working for. And it has! The CV and Letter have to be in tomorrow so it is a bit of a co-incidence that May's theme is - A Successful Career.
Today's question is - Do you enjoy your work? And today's affirmation is - I'll find the job that is right for me. I am rather hoping it is a good sign.
The only problem is that my current job is soooo unfulfilling that I don't have any examples/achievements to brag about on my CV and I can't tell lies. I wouldn't even want to bend the truth a little because it not something I can do. I am what I am and I can't be pretending otherwise, so I am not holding out much hope. My wonderfully procrastinating nature has decided, given my current frame of mind, that I should leave the application until tomorrow!
I'll leave you with the quotation and meditation for the month as provided/edited by Bob Dix.
Quotation (rather fitting for the Me Discovering Me blog!)
“Thoroughly to know oneself,... is the highest art.” Theologia Germanica (c 1350)
Mediation (Again rather fitting for the Me Discovering Me blog)
"Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, - act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead,
Lives of great men all remind us
We can made our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait."
H.W. Longfellow (1807-1882)
- A Psalm of Life (Stanzas 2,7,8 & 10)
And I'll leave you to ponder today's question - Do you enjoy your work?

Wow, thank you for taking the time to read and comment! That means SO MUCH I can't describe to you how much. Thank you. Thank you also for the link to the CV - struggling hence the procrastinating over to my blog. x
ReplyDeleteI was once you and I still have my moments. I had to dig really deep and decide that I didn't want to shrivel up and be the someone that I had become - I wanted to find who I was and LIVE! Really - it is still a struggle everyday, but I love living life instead of wallowing in my alter ego - the person I had become after so many years of dysfunction. Keep blogging... it will help you!
ReplyDeleteAh, again thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. It means alot to me. I never really understood why someone would want to blog, but I gave it a try and it really made me feel better. I am going to try and stick to it but try not to be too worried about posting every day but try and post when I have something that I feel I want or need to say. I was also suprised that there are quite a number of people out there that seem as confused as me about things. That made me feel a bit better too, I'm not so alone as I thought I was.
ReplyDeletePS I found your blog via that 'wefeelfine' website - I clicked on a bubble and up you popped :-)
