This is it. My first day at my new job. Oddly, this morning I’m not nervous at all. I slept well (I’m surprised) and now I’m ready to go. Of course I still have 2 hours before I have to leave. LOL

I’ve written out the notes and a rough schedule for the sitter that’s the same as what we’ve gone by before. I’ve gotten all my paperwork together. I just need to shower and get dressed and I’m on my way.

I’m hopeful on this job. I recognize some challenges I’ve had in the past with new employment situations and I believe this time, with awareness, I will meet them head on and sail right through them. When the change gets tough for my family I cannot let myself be consumed by guilt. I know this move is best for all of us no matter how difficult it may be getting used to it.

I also know this job isn’t filled with all the answers to my life. It will not make me happier, more fulfilled or fix all of my problems. I am the only one that can do that. I can choose to be happier, more fulfilled and fix my problems by making choices that are in the right direction for my goals. No job or external, inanimate thing is going to change my life - only I am. I know this job will make me happier and more fulfilled, not because of the job, but because I am listening to me. I am doing what I know to be best for me and I will stand by that conviction - I will stand by me.

Wish me luck!!
