Grasping Abundance

One of the many people putting thoughts online. I am a daughter, a sister, a mom, an aunt, a teacher, a student, a dreamer, a procrastinator, and still a girl that loves sewing, nurturing, reading & writing, jazz, and the music of the 80's.

Will work for Cool Breezes..............


This may sound redundant, but there is no longer is a gradual progression from spring into summer. The month of May started off cool and when time came to the Memorial Day weekend, the oven was turned on full blast. That may have made many folks happy, but not me. I was suffering with swollen feet from drinking too much soda (Sodium) and eating salty foods like chips and dip. I missed that cruise ship trip that I was on two years ago. I enjoyed being an indulgent chick. Now I feel like a wilted flower. I bet the Heating and Cooling guys (HVA) are the most popular guys right now. They are probably getting hit on and offers/proposals left and right.

Maybe I am seeing the past through rose-colored lens, but I remember cool days in June and when it got near the middle of the month or the last days of school, the dog days started to kick in. I couldn't wait to get out for the summer. Now as a middle-age girl whose humble abode is without air-conditioning, I am fantasizing about working in somebody's office just for the cool breezes.

I went to a Job Fair last week. I have to admit that I hate Job Fairs, although they are very valuable for those that are unemployed. But as an unemployed person who needs a job, its feels like I am going to a party where I do not know anyone, and I have to jump into the fray. Smoozing and networking is not one of my best assets. I do feel that am a friendly person, but I know that I do not easily open up in a foreign environment where I have to prove myself. But I need to put myself out there and remembering that bills need to be paid, definitely keeps me motivated.
