I wonder…
what is going on in the universe at the moment? The new job: originally the position I applied for had a start date of May 7. They did offer me a position, but it was for a different intake, beginning June 12. Fine, a few more weeks of living hand to mouth. Today, they ring me and ask if I would be prepared to start on the 7th after all! Ummm….YES! They will let me know tomorrow.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, things are moving for Mollie’s violin teacher. A position he has been salivating over has come up, and although there are a few things needing to be sorted out, he hopes to take that up soon.
My dear friend has been having some health issues. We went to see the specialist today, and there has been a further complication which will delay treatment. She is devastated, but the thinking is that if this new problem can be sorted out, a host of other problems will rectify themselves, without the need of further treatment: in reality, this has turned out to be great news!
Another dear friend has also had some excellent news regarding the health of one of her children.
Mum has travelled a long way to a funeral, and has met some family members she has never met before. Despite the sadness of the loss, they are all really enjoying themselves, and really, the death has given new life to several relationships.
All of these amazing things have been happening ever since I began to consciously exercise gratitude in all areas of my life. Each night, before I go to sleep, I lie there and think of all the things for which I am grateful. There are many! This serves to focus my attention on the positive aspects, instead of dwelling on the negative. It sounds really corny and trite, but it BLOODY WORKS!
Tell you what, I’ll be grateful if I get to start work next week!
