Never complain. Never explain.

 Well, today marked another milestone in life.... in a manner of speaking.

My job was eliminated, effective immediately. No severance, no notice- though I "knew" there was a good possibility something would happen. For profit businesses are struggling... non-profits are drowning. The comical part (gotta find the humor in these types of situations) was when I mentioned my contract wasn't up until June. Seems that none of the ones notifying me of my elimination realized I wasn't really an employee... I was an independent contractor. They asked if I would sue, I said no. Its really not worth it, plus I know there's no money to fight over.

I simply gathered my things and turned in my keys. Then exited the building.  And the children & I ordered pizza for supper.

My friends & family keep asking if I am okay. If I am worried. What will I do next?

They seem surprised that I'm okay with it all. Sure, loss of income is always an issue. Plus, I'm still recuperating from my ankle mishap. I'm still responsible for the health & well- being of my children, and myself.

In a lot of ways a weight has been lifted... and a door has been opened.

I had decided a week ago to bite the bullet & join Usborne Books as a consultant. I love the books & it is a product I believe in... really, what's better than books? My dd wants to help me with it. So, essentially, we am starting our own business- on a wing & a prayer.

I love routine. I am comfortable with routine. Security. But the only real constant is change. So, my routine has become to go with the change. Things work out as they should. And while some think I don't worry as I should... I just try to be an example of faith. I'm where I am supposed to be at this moment.

There's a reason one door closed, just as another opened. Now, its up to me to keep moving and cross the threshold.

So, in the words of Katherine Hepburn, "Never complain. Never explain.", rather live the words of Anderson Cooper, "Follow your bliss."
