If you’ve been reading this blog, you know that other than a few ups (ok a BIG up…finally earning my degree), things were kinda shitty in ‘08. Ok, yes, in hindsight, things could have been much worse so I do thank the Man above for watching out for me. You may also have read that the last day of the year was pretty traumatic for me, yeah, once again it could have been worse, but shit, to loose all of your hair in one sitting is pretty bad for me, then to wake up the next morning aka the 1st day of a brand new year with the same hair (Lord knows I prayed that it was a nightmare and that I would wake up with not a hair missing from my head). Let’s just say that I was non to happy. In the midst of that mini crisis and in the midst of this crazy economy, I was offered, not one, but TWO jobs within the span of about 2 weeks. Since the second offer was the better of the two, that’s the one that i’ll be starting in shortly. I have to admit that at this point 1/13/09, I truly feel His blessings, not that I never have in the past, but when the second offer came through, I felt as though Ed McMahon had knocked on my door with the million dollar check. I’ve promised myself to find happiness, do things that make ME happy, get over this haircut issue and just embrace it, hell it’s gonna take at least a good 6 to 8 weeks before it grows to a more mangeable length, no use being upset that long. Folks around me like it and I must admit that i’m kinda liking it too. I’ve promised to be a better friend, stop texting and emailing and actually picking up the phone and having person to person conversations, but at the same time, I’m not going to be more of a friend to a person than they are to me. I’ve promised myself to speak up more and to also stay away from situations that have no positive effect on me or will not better my life in anyway. I’ve promised myself that no matter what a person’s opinion might be of me, to still be ME.
I’m not perfect, faaarrr from it, I know that I lots and lots to work on and anyone that can be honest with themselves knows that up until the day we die, we as humans will always be a work in progress. I’m not going to do things that others agree with, but as long as it’s not harming them or most importantly ME…i’m going to do them as long as it makes ME happy.
I currently have a very close friend that is going through a very difficult time and I wish that I could help, in this time, no words can comfort this person, I truly wish that it were Ed Mcmahon at my door, because that check is the only thing that can currently save my friend. I’ve been keeping this person in my prayers nightly in hopes that at the last minute, just when all hope is given up, something comes through and gets my friend through this difficult time. Today my friend hit me with more news and my heart sank, as blessed as I currently feel, I wonder why He is not bestowing His blessings on my friend. Why is He putting my friend through all of this, it does make me wonder if He listens to prays, but when I think that within 2 weeks I received 2 job offers, I have to admit that in fact He does, but in His time. I’ll continue to pray for my friend and ask that He delivers and rights both situations for this person. I’ve known this person way to long and this friendship means the world to me…you’ll get through this my friend, you’ll get through this…
