What is Your Employment Situation?

Diva · 11-17-2010, 12:17 PM

Hey Y'all....

I just wanted to say "Thanks!" for all the sweet messages/reps/rep comments since I posted. I didn't post what I posted for Y'all to feel sorry for me....in fact, I think being laid off ~ as I told someone earlier ~ was one of the best things that had ever happened to me. I believe I had felt defined by what I did for a living and that blessed paycheck for a very long time.

And that's not who I am at all! I believe not having that extra money has taught me many valuable lessons....primarily, the things that are really important are not THINGS. And also, my priorities in life have changed a great deal!!

Thanks again....I do so love this Planet! Thanks, Medusa, for this thread (and this SITE!).
