Today I drew "Divine Will". That was a good one for me to concentrate on today, as I faced day 2 on the job. Well, "faced" is maybe the wrong word...it has a negative connotation, and I am enjoying my job.
One weakness I have is not listening, or interrupting. But not trying to interrupt in a rude way, just trying to provide words when they are pausing. But that involves me providing them with the word I think they want, which might not even be the case. I am trying really hard to just listen.
I am also trying to not make judgements...it's hard, I think it's something we all do. We base entire relationships, or the tone of relationships at least based on 1st impressions. I'm trying to just take all reactions, looks, comments but not make judgement. If that makes sense.
I think this has been a good card to help me focus on the fresh start that I want at this company.

Fresh start
I started my new job this morning. I had enough time to draw a card this morning, and I drew divine gratitude.
I am grateful for having a new job, for a new start, new people, no negativity....
I am grateful for chances to express my creativity (did several challenges for National Scrapbook Day...this is not related for the job).
I am grateful for beautiful summer like days.
I am grateful for hour long lunches that will allow for walks during this beautiful weather!!

Divine Gratitude
I am grateful for:
1) Spring finally being here
2) Smell for freshly cut grass
3) We have a condo, so I didn't have to cut the grass myself
4) First birthdays (shout out to Nay-nay)
5) Hubby is home, even if it is for just one night

The plan comes together....
Today was divine consciousness. That has been playing a large role in my life lately, as I have been doing a job search. I've applied for a handful of jobs, and have had 3 interviews. The first job, I was excited about. The second, well, it would have been a paycheque, and the third...well, at the interview I said I would be interested in coming in to volunteer if I didn't get hired. The job was just what I wanted, the the company is one that I believe in, the company culture is amazing. Ohhh I wanted that job. And I got it. It pays a little less than what I was hoping for, but it seems like a small price to pay in light of everything else.
Job searching can be so frustrating and disheartening. Especially when you are trying to break out of a mold. Trying to get someone to give you that chance. to see between the lines on your resume. I was so unhappy with my last job, really feeling that I wasn't contributing to anything, on any level. I didn't want to do that again.
My sister has always said that I have a horseshoe...ah, somewhere in my anatomy. Things, especially jobs, just seem to come to me. While I have been looking for jobs, I do admit that I don't think I sent out more than 20 or so resumes. I only started looking in earnest in January. So 5 months of looking, with only a handful of resumes...that's not bad. I know people who send out hundreds of resumes over weeks, and don't get anywhere.
If I had gotten that job in February (job #1), I wouldn't have had this opportunity.
I have tried to keep in mind that things happen the way they are supposed to, and that is part of divine consciousness.
