Tomorrow marks a special anniversary, three months have passed since being laid off. And,
I'm still optimistic that the situation is an opportunity not a detriment. Things happen for a reason, the universe has a plan for everything, good will materialize. As long as I continue to have a positive attitude, look at all possibilities and remain flexible, a new career is just around the corner.



Of course, there are times when fears and apprehensions play games with my head. But, I know that's only natural. I've had promising responses to my resume, a few phone calls from interested employers and even some interviews. Just nothing that knocks me over the head. My ideal situation would be to have some type of home-based business that produces sustainable income. I'll continue to "think outside the box".

With the unemployment rate at 9.5% and 14.5 million people jobless, the government announced that 1.3 million unemployed are about to lose their benefits. I understand I'm living on borrowed time. But, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Everyday is mine, free to do whatever I want. I do make a priority to find employment but, that does leave a huge chuck of time each day to my discretion.



Finding Hubpages is a god send. I’ve always loved writing but never thought there would be a place to publish my musings. Plus your able to possibly make a little money foe your efforts. Being a newbie, I,m just starting to understand the nuances of monetizing my Hubs. For anyone who enjoys writing and creating, Hubpages is fantastic.


Exercise has been a big part of my life. Now I find time everyday to workout. Please don't go and get laid off just to be in great shape. But, the freedom to structure my day as I see fit (no pun intended) is a blessing.


Eventhough I’m jobless, you have be able to adapt and turn a negative into a positive. Be grateful for the things you have. And, be thankful that you have the chance to possibly change your life for the better.
