Starting again...

So, it's been while since I last posted.. it feels like just yesterday- the days are passing so quickly lately. It seems all I do is work myself to exhaustion each day and my one day of "rest" in a week just isn't enough. But even as I sit here wishing I didn't have to go in to work tomorrow, I am SOOO grateful to have a job. When our Bishop said today that he had lost his job this week my heart sank. All of the old memories and feelings I had as I was without a job for 8 months came back to me. As I look back on that time now, I realize that it effected me more than I realized at the time. It was great to have extra free time, to accomplish projects, spend time with family, be available to serve others... but even as I see those things now as a good thing, at the time it was overshadowed by the worry and stress of finding a new job. These are definitely days of trial and testing. In an effort to re-prioritize and refocus myself, I've changed the name of my blog to Happiness... I need to work on being more dedicated to the things in my life that really bring happiness. And although I am happy to have a job, that's not what brings me true happiness. Although the amount of hours I have to work won't be changing, what I'm focused on throughout the day/night will be. So, wish me luck... it's going to be a FUN week!. PS- I can hardly wait for General Conference.. I went to the Young Women broadcast on Saturday and it was fantastic.
