Looking for a new opportunity: Got a job, probably just looking for a new one.
Between jobs: When you have been out of a gig for a short time and trying to move on.
Unemployed: Well, I think that is a lot like me.
So when does this end? I have no idea. The last couple of weeks have been tough on one hand because it's felt so futile and wasteful. I have felt like I am on the bottom of the heap which is not really like me and I have felt like I was on the brink of giving up. On the other hand, I have gained even more momentum and created three very real opportunities/interviews for myself this week and I am doing well. How can I be this close for so long? It is just dangling before me seemingly only to be taken away.
But.
As lacking as I feel, I am always reminded of how much I have. I have been blessed with more than most, and my what I lack is what many would never dream of having. God keeps my leash tight and puts it in my face how blessed I am. I think if I went out tonight and did not wake tomorrow, people would look at my life and say that George really lived it all. What in the world could I have asked for given the lives of others taken before their time? How could I complain about my life vs those that don't even have their health. I got it, loud and clear. I can lose a lot and still be more than OK in this life.
By definition, I am blessed.
