Today I am grateful for courage . . .

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted.  To say I've been busy is quite the understatement.  After working at my last job for just seven months, I decided it was time to make a change.  I had been there just a few months when I realized it was not a good fit.  I really liked my co-workers, but that just wasn't enough to make me happy there.  I was thrilled when the opportunity to get back into homebuilding came along, and I decided to go for it.  I'm definitely not a job-hopper; I was at my prior job for twelve years and the two jobs before that for five years each.  So, it took a lot of courage to face my fears and take a new job in an industry that's still a little shaky rather than staying in a comfortable job in a much more stable industry.  I worried that I might find out I'm not a good fit for this job either, and I just couldn't have another short stint on my resume.  Well, I'm so glad I found the courage to follow my heart.  I love my new company, my co-workers are great, and I'm back to doing what I love.  I'm working a lot of hours these days, but it's so worth it.  All in all, I've learned that sometimes you just have to trust your gut and take that leap of faith.
