it just happens.

 

Sometimes things just happen.

You can't anticipate it.

You can't do anything about it.

It just happens.

 

Monday, my boss got fired for something ridiculous.

Yesterday, I got laid off.

They shut down my department.

There was nothing we could do.

 

It happened.

We got our boxes, loaded them with our personal belongings

& left.

You never think this will happen to you.

One minute you're going to work

the next minute you get called into an office for a confrence call

where you quickly learn that you no longer have a job.

One of the worst feelings in the world.

 

 

I have been blessed in so many ways throughout my life.

 

I work hard, as most people do.

I underestimate myself..

Shortly after I get home, crying in Robbie's arms, apologizing over and over

as if any of this was my fault. Feeling sorry for myself and my friends that have been let go as I was.

Feeling bad for adding any more stress to my husband that works so hard for our family.

He held me. Forever.

He kept me together.

He gave me hope. A belief that something better will come of this.

 

I had been home for about an hour, maybe a little longer, when I recieve a call from someone aware of what happened and offered me an interview for a new business opening up in the new year.

 

I got to do that interview today, It went the same as any other interview I've done before.

I will keep my hope strong.

 

This call made me feel important.

Not forgotten, like I thought I would be.

Being told, you've come highly recommended and we'd like to speak with you about a job opportunity.

Coworkers asking me to send my resume to them so they can tell their friends about me...

wow.

 

 

Knowing that so many people are watching out for me.

Wanting to see me succeed...

I have never been so fortunate.

I couldn't be more thankful.

 

 

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF

 

 

There is always something better on the other side.

 

You just have to believe in yourself.
