Feeling better...

I thought I should throw out a little positivity since my last several posts have kind of been on the negative side. I'm disappointed about not getting the job, but I'm ready to take a chance, apply for lots of stuff, and contact any person who I think might be able to help me find a job. I just need to keep reminding myself I have nothing to lose. Something will turn up eventually somewhere. In the meantime, I will rely on my kind mother for loans until I finally have an income :)

So, I'm really thankful to have such wonderful friends and family. I've been once again reminded that I am surrounded by people who believe in me and want the best for me. That's pretty awesome! My mama is also super cool and awesome, as is Juan. He's more of a silent supporter, but I know he's there.

I'm thankful that I'm in France in the first place. It's easy to focus on the fact that I didn't get what I wanted, but if I hadn't been here and had someone nice enough to give me a contact name, I wouldn't have had the chance to have an interview. Not everyone gets the opportunity to travel and take a risk. I feel pretty lucky. I don't want to go home tomorrow, but if I did, I'd have met some incredible people here that will be my friends for a long time.

I'm one class and one exam away from having a Master's degree. That's something to be thankful for too. Another thing I said I'd never do but did anyway. Pretty cool.

I'm also still thankful for Breakthrough. While I've posted my freakouts in a public place, they're still not as bad as they used to be and don't last as long. I'm happy to have a new perspective that allows me to work towards being positive instead of always staying focused on the negative.

Ok, I'm off to grab a drink with some of those new friends and enjoy the sunshine that has FINALLY come back!
