I finally landed a job that is in one of the fields I wanted greatly to persue – broadcasting! I’ve been under doctors orders not to work at all since my ruptured brain aneurysm back in May, but I havn’t recieved any help whatsoever from our province’s lousy social assistance program with either welfare or disability.

So, this had me in the place of having to perpetually borrow $$ fromj family & friends, even though neither have much to spare, and it’s had me feeling depressed & useless for some time now.

I did what I always suggest to folks that they do when in similar boats – I put word out there to friends that I was looking for work, and lo & behold, my friend Randy, who works in radio, mentioned that his station may be looking for overnight people to do the frequent on air updates of weather & traffic.

Well, I applied, had interviws, and went in for a training session of sorts where they aired me anyway, and now – NOW I HAVE THE JOB!

It ain’t a big position by any means, but it is a great foot in the door to an industry which I’ve worked in on and off (never anything steady!) freelans for years now.

I credit a few things for my current position..

1) Help from a friend!

2) Experience & talent to back me up!

3) PERSERVERANCE & a positive outlook!

So, I’m happy as all get-out now!

YAYY!

The Northern Lights are such a fantastical thing to witness!!!

I'd say watching them for the first time for me was up there with holding a brand new baby in my arms, making love outdoors in a lightning storm, touching a dolphin, and a few other nature-related special points in my life that I can remember!

The thing is, one doesn’t always have to go too far to see them. The first time I watched them (for hours!) was in south western Ontario, Canada on a friend’s farm. It blew me away!

Often, they can be seen from the most unusual and unexpected places as long as the skies around you are not lit up by unnatural light.

Perhaps check some websites for the best viewing conditions and times and places and go from there.
