It's so hard to go through unemployment. I lost my job a few years ago and that was the impetus for my horrible divorce. Unemployment often means a large magnifying glass on your life and it's easy to get caught up in negative thinking. I hope this time was good for you to clear your head and look at the future as an opportunity. In the meantime, you get to spend quality time with your husband. I send healing thoughts to him everyday. Looking back, losing my job was the one of the best things to ever happen to me. It meant I had to start a completley new life (in one summer I lost my job, house, and marriage), but I am in such a better position now. I can honestly say that right now I am Happy. And I know you will be saying that soon too. Jobs may come and go, but quilting is forever. Now I'm just being silly.<br /><br />Good for you for posting this. It took courage. You are such a strong, inspirational woman and I'm sending you big hugs and happy thoughts right this second :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270104214891613713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-68313982173305620472011-09-23T13:36:22.393-04:002011-09-23T13:36:22.393-04:00Bless your heart Sunny....Life does have away with...Bless your heart Sunny....Life does have away with ups and downs but you have your best friend by your side....and together you two will get through this one...I'm happy that you had a nice and refreshing outing.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing what goodies you have in your sacks! :)<br /><br />Hugs, CarolynLee Prairie Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770614314444996628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-73224602856298172572011-09-23T13:33:47.352-04:002011-09-23T13:33:47.352-04:00Hey Sunny, I struggle with being 'defined by m...Hey Sunny, I struggle with being 'defined by my job' too. I am a nurse who works very very part time, but I can still say I'm a nurse. Truth is, I don't love being a nurse. I love people, but not the nursing aspect. My dream job is to retire and become a volunteer. Then I can say "I'm a retired nurse, but I do volunteer work at blah, blah, blah!" haha I hope you are feeling better and I wish I could have been with you on your shopping trip!!!Little Penpenhttp://littlepenpen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-58773968577687308522011-09-23T13:13:27.554-04:002011-09-23T13:13:27.554-04:00I've been to an antique store like that before...I've been to an antique store like that before. And I don't want to go back either! Just too much, it's overwhelming. Which is how it sounds like your life was getting. Having a plan (which it sounds like you are doing) helps greatly. You're been doing really good going through this hard times in your lives. And you do realize - that for me you have not been defined by your job. But by your wonderful sweet spirit (as seen in your blog posts). I'm so happy to have you as a friend.Linda in Calif.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17976880355570847646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-34020330153170463822011-09-23T10:04:44.142-04:002011-09-23T10:04:44.142-04:00How sad that what we do to live defines us instead...How sad that what we do to live defines us instead of what we live to do........<br /><br />Sad but true.....

I had to laugh when I saw the picture you took of your 'haul' before your hubby came home. It reminded me of my purchases from last week's wool festival. We gals love to shop.

I understand your frustration with being unemployed...I have just gone through a 6 month period of unemployment. I am back to work now, at a job for less than I was making before...but better than unemployment!! My positive thoughts are winging their way Eastward to you!! <br /><br />Good job on taking some time to refocus and reframe. It sounds like it was worth it!!<br /><br />DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706950552891936276noreply@blogger.com
