Today I am grateful for music . . .

My iPod broke last week. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of songs that aren't on my computer due to a couple of hard drive crashes I've had. I had 4200 songs on my IPod, and I still haven't figured out how many songs I still have. Regardless, I'm thankful for the music I have left.

Today I am grateful that when one door closes, another one opens . . .

It's been quite a while since my last post. After being laid off, I was having some difficulty finding the motivation to share my journey. However, I attended the Annual Conference for Women in Accounting this week, where I had the chance to catch up with many old friends and make a few new ones. While reconnecting, I realized that it's so cathartic to share our ups and downs and support one another. So I will be making a concerted effort to keep up with this blog, even when focusing on what I'm grateful for proves to be more challenging than I would like.

Today I received the disappointing news that I will not be moving forward in the hiring process for a company I had hoped to get a job offer from. After feeling down about it for several hours, I received another phone call. A position I interviewed for almost three months ago is still open and the hiring managers want to see me back for a second interview! Since I have had several interviews and no job offers, I remain cautiously optimistic. In any event, I am grateful for the opportunity. One of these opportunities will eventually pan out, and I am confident that everything will work out for the best.
