I have a huge sense of gratitude.  Not just currently, but this is who I am.  I am grateful for all that I have.  While I struggle through things I still have gratitude.  When things are bad, I still feel grateful.

There have been recent cutbacks where I work.  They did away with 5 positions in the past week.  Mine was one of them.  Well, not quite but they did cut 2 of the positions with the job title I held.  The one they kept is located 40 miles from my house. I passed on the ability to keep the job and opted to work another position that I have worked twice in the past.  This means that I will be moving back to nighttime hours and will have my Friday’s off again.  I will be working from about 12:30 to 10 p.m. Monday thru Thursday with Friday’s off.

This arrangement allows me to finish college and not become unemployed in the process.  That’s about all I have to say about it.

There are 3 other’s who will lose their jobs in the next week or so and they will not be offered this alternative arrangement of working another position at night.  Sure some say the night position is bad.

I have learned about gratitude and I’m grateful to retain my same rate of pay and continue on my journey.

It’s back to pushing in chairs and unlocking doors for awhile and back to a lot of free time with few responsibilities.  Ahhh such is life.  I am ready for more, but I am taking this time to rejoice, re-energize and simply be grateful that I have a job, that I have lost nothing I have gained and that I have much to look forward to by having my own timeline to work with.

I also got an A in film class.
