The Purple Journal

and so NOT loving it! I have been away on training for a week and i SO did not miss being at work. Today I feel so down and depressed to be back here...so much to do and none of it is anything I enjoy doing...I am so admin based in my job that i dont get to do what I enjoy doing the most which is create and deliver training courses. There are three girls from our team who have resigned and are working in their last few days here...I am SO envious! I must just try HARD to focus on the good and there is lots of good happening in my life:

• things are going so well for me and my family - we are all happy and my children are well adjusted
• we have friends and family who love an support us whenever we need it
• I have a beautiful home filled with love and laughter
• I HAVE a job and this means i can feed and clothe my family and provide a roof over their heads
• I bought some lovely clothes for myself over the weekend.
• I am wearing my new grean peasant style top today that makes me happy
• Winter is on its way out and spring is around the corner - summer will be here soon and thats my FAVOURITE time of the year!
• I have 4 brand spanking new books that I can read! One of these is the sound of paper that I vae been wanting to read for about a year...can wait to read that!
• My darling husband bought me the new Corrine Bailey Rae cd and had it delivered to me at work last week! So sweet! I have been wanting that cd for a while and LOVE her music!

I think thats enough to be grateful for and I am sure I will come out of this "funk" soon. Happy Monday to all

Some layouts and Happy Friday to you!

I decided to turn the offer down! I could unfortunately not take a salary cut even though the job is ONLY 5 KMS from my house! I have been for a few other interviews, but no other offers yet.I am getting quite discouraged, but I know I wont find something overnight so i must just be patient. I leave you with the cutie pie - my nephew. Other news: We are having the coldest spell that we have had this winter. Rain, sleet and snow yesterday! Also a nice surpirse last night...a blackout in my entire area last night and the ligths are still not on today! so i look forward to a cold house and no bath unless the power comes back on!
