First of all, I have to say Thanks to all of you who have left such wonderful comments, emails, and texts after my last blog posting. When I started this blog last year, I had no idea that it would turn into the beautiful community that it has become.
I know it has been a while since I last posted, and I apologize for that. I needed to take a little break...a hiatus from the blog to get some other things in order.
It wasn't that I had no inspiration to write, it's just that I have been in a different mindset. In a GOOD way!
I also apologize for not updating all of you sooner on the fact that I did find another job. In fact, I was only out of work for 3 weeks. I have been at my new place of employment for over a month now. I was very determined, and I woke up every morning, sent out my resume to MANY, many places, and it paid off! PHEW!
Other than the job, things are going well for me. Summer is within our reach! Beach volleyball starts this week. Kickball starts next week! Hooray for summer sports!
I just ran the Soldier Field 10 mile race this weekend and had my fastest time ever!
I am currently dating a great guy. He is one of the most adorable people I have ever laid eyes on. We're taking it day by day, but I'm having a lot of fun with it.
So yeah...I can't really complain right now. I am counting my blessings every day, because I know that in a heartbeat it could all be gone.
Which brings me to....
Today is the 1 Year Anniversary of Dangling Carrots!
I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Starting this writing adventure has been a great, therapeutic, wonderful journey.
I went back and read through my posts today, especially my very first posts where I was happy to get a single comment! Or, to have my page count reach 20-30 reads per day.
Thank you for letting me share my ridiculous opinions, thoughts and even some personal moments with you all.
AND...thank you for letting me take some time off. I will update more frequently because I feel like I have been away from friends.
YOU'RE THE BEST!
Paul

ReplyDeletePaul, happy anniversary! We missed you. I'm so happy to hear you found a new job quickly. I didn't think it would take too long for you to find something, but the job market is scary depending on where you are and what you do. Seeing someone new is always a boost; glad you are having so much fun with him.
