How I did it
How to find a purpose
It took me
7 days
It made me
peaceful

How I did it: Everything I had read before implied that one has to seek purpose. I guess that's so, but once I put down exactly those qualities I was seeking, it seemed like something came tumbling in to match them. Read how I did it…

How to get a job
It took me
11 months
It made me
relieved!

How I did it: I didn't hear back from most jobs to which I applied, and I heard there were lots of applicants for every position. I began to get discouraged, really down, but would apply for openings when I heard about them. 99 percent of them didn't work out, but I kept telling myself I only needed one company to hire me. And finally, after many months, I got a job offer. Read how I did it…

How to make it through hubby's training
It took me
30 days
It made me
tired.

How I did it: Just kept going. There's no choice. Gotta stay positive. Don't let yourself get too down. Go out and be around other people, even if it's just at a store. Stay focused on a goal--make up something that you have to do. I chose writing, luckily it was National Novel Writing Month. That made a huge difference. You'll feel like you've got something to show for the time, and it will distract you. Read how I did it…

Untitled 2 days ago

Teaching is off the list. Permanently. I find myself getting up at 4:30 a.m. to grade things and write lesson plans and staying up late to do the same. All for half my previous salary. I’m actively applying for other jobs and have much more appreciation for cubicle life.
