I'm glad that you are in a place where you can take a bit of time for yourself and figure things out before you get back out there. I wish you the best of luck with soul searching and with finding an even better job soon!Raquelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138113830990586689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18812010.post-27485753816815100262010-08-01T16:50:50.081-05:002010-08-01T16:50:50.081-05:00I will be praying for you!

I went through a pretty rough time last year with a similar issue and being unemployed can really hurt to the core, but in the end it will all work out. You're a great writer, have fantastic style, and from the looks of it an adorable, supportive boyfriend. Life will be tough for a little bit, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe these lyrics from a certain cheesy musical we were both in will cheer you up a bit?<br /><br />"Stiff upper lip! Stout fellow, when you're in a stew. Sober or blotto this is our motto, keep muddling through!"<br /><br />(I really hope you remember this or I'm going to feel like an idiot)Sarah, Casey, & Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04983711335680773186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18812010.post-90001987655201133632010-07-29T17:21:46.784-05:002010-07-29T17:21:46.784-05:00I'm sor sorry to read this. but I think you ha...I'm sor sorry to read this. but I think you have the right idea, change in live does lead to bigger and better things. but change is hard!! so it's ok to boo hoo for a bit.Chrystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484711328395619369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18812010.post-47690902483636785082010-07-29T11:37:08.436-05:002010-07-29T11:37:08.436-05:00Alyson I'm so sorry!
