Happy New Year!
2015 is bringing in a lot of changes for our family…..giving
new meaning to “out with the old, in with the new”.
In October, my husband was informed he would be let go
from his job here in Phoenix. As of December 12, he became unemployed…although
his official date is January 5.
Needless to say,
the news came as a big shock to us and the reasons for his termination
made us more than angry, but after the emotions faded my husband realized it
was a blessing because he had tired of the job and was no longer happy with the
company or the direction they seemed to be going. Because there was no legitimate reason (other
than their standard “it’s just business” BS)---okay, I’m still angry, haha--- he was given a generous severance. He’s already started looking for work (and
many of his co-workers have started helping him…that’s how loved he was by many of them). He’s been off since mid
December, doing small chores around the house, relaxing and just plain driving
me crazy! We are very confident he will find another job, we just aren’t sure
where….here in Arizona or back home in Texas and I have to admit, Texas is high
on the list.
All in all, I am very glad to see 2014 end!! It’s been
a very stressful year….so much so, I haven’t been able to get any real writing
done…and believe me when I tell you, I don’t stress easily. I’m from Texas and
pretty laidback. Shit happens, I deal….but when it’s people putting the stress
on….well, I deal, but my health suffers and my writing.
Anyway….I’m really hoping 2015 is a banner year for us,
although life is what you make of it.
I’m going to stay positive and hope everything works out….after all, I’ve
always believed things happen for a reason, so there’s no sense worrying about
it.
