2016 Job Search Ramblings
So I'm on that job search grind again. Last year, I was looking for a job with a salary. This year, I have a salary but I don't like the job. New year, new problems.

It's another week in November and as part of my grateful challenge, I'm at it again! This past Monday, I had a mini breakdown.

It’s November: The month of Thanksgiving
In an attempt to find joy and peace no matter what the situation (Phillipians 4:12), this month I will focus on gratitude.

Trying to find joy in transition
This week has been hard. I miss home and I still don't like my job. However, I'm finding little ways to create balance, routine and happiness in my life. I'm taking care of my health.
