Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. A great time for family and friends. Don't miss out on this opportunity to engage in friendly visits. Be with people that care. You can put this search on pause. Many times you will find that when you step back and relax and relieve some of that pressure your brain will kick in and work behind the scenes. You may even come up with some new ideas without much thinking about it.

Beware the mind is a strong tool, often surpassing your greatest expectations. Remember the old cliche that it often seems easiest to find a job when you are working. Think about why that happens. You are relaxed and not worried about being successful.

What's in your stocking?

Thank you Sean, one needs to write more in these blogs if they are to be effective.

So!!! What are you expecting in your stocking this year? In my father's youth if he got an orange and a few walnuts and pecans he felt overwhelmed. It was about joy and love, not quantity.
As you know by now there is a good chance you won't find your next opportunity in your stocking this year. Then again that may depend on how you view the contents. Having a positive outlook and remembering how lucky we are can make a difference. Many times we are used to having our way or be in control of our lives.

You can be in control of your life (destiny) if you keep your chin up and walk proudly. Everyday when you awake just remember that there is something out there for you and by golly you're going to watch and listen in case that opportunity surfaces today or tomorrow.

Remember to Have fun, Meet people, Learn something. Seems trite so just try it. Too many people have returned to the support group to report how it has worked for them.

Merry Christmas to all!

Upcoming holidays-2007

As we now approach Thanksgiving and Christmas is reminds me that many people, out of work, tend to not attend such functions due to embarrassment. That should not be the case. Socializing with your friends and family at this time of year is good for you and them. It is a time for family and gathering. Never lose sight of the fact that most people want to help others, sort of a natural phenomena.
If you find yourself hibernating, staying in, keeping clear of gatherings---Don't!!! Get out there and join in, have fun, meet people and learn something. Don't allow depression to set in.
