You know that feeling you get when you are embarking on a new adventure in your life...that surge of optimism that this will be a positive experience and peace will prevail on earth, right? Then, sometimes, you get a full-face of the "are-you-kidding-me...you?" reality check. Been there, done that myself.
I try not to get too hopeful when I send out my cover letters, resumes, and references to the various potential employers, but I do get a rush of hope when I've put the envelope in the mail or send the electronic application out...maybe THIS one will be the magical one. And, whenever I've been called in for an interview, that little ember of hope begins to flicker a bit brighter until reality lifts its leg over it and extinguishes it completely.
I am so looking forward to beginning school next week, and know this will keep me occupied for the next 15 weeks. I am hopeful that I'll be able to let go of the draginess that being out of work all this time and embrace this new reinvention and all its possibilities completely.
I guess it's like the sports teams whenever they begin a new season. Who's to say that the Chicago Cubs can't pull out a division win and go on to win the World Series, right? They are contenders and are close to the win...right up until they're not.
I am full of the magic of possibility and will shade myself from the harsh, stabbing light of reality...at least for 15 weeks.
