Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time.
Enjoying one moment at a time,
and accepting hardships as a pathway to peace

I don't consider myself a religious person. I was born and baptized into the Catholic religion but I have a hard time with it. I was okay with it until I was old enough to be a free thinker, and question things. Man Catholics don't like when you question their religion. At least not the ones I grew up with. So what's with the prayer? There are some fantastic parts of the bible, and other religious materials (all religions) that are easy for me. The serenity prayer is something I strive to remember every day, because when the going gets tough, it helps me to think about what's important enough to stress about.

The job search is stressful. I applied to maybe 10 different places, and four have already turned me down. Can you imagine getting this phone call? "We're really happy for your interest in our company but we're sorry to say, you're much to OVER qualified to work here" Wow really? I'm the one that paid, and is still paying for my education. I'm the one that struggled through the stresses of schools, if I want to work somewhere how is it fair to be told I can't because I'm OVER qualified. All that should matter to you is that I can do the job, and trust me I didn't apply for any jobs I couldn't do. Someone should be an asset if they want to work for your company but are qualified to do much better, high paying work. So if I'm over qualified why am I applying to these jobs? Well because Kevin and I are definitely not staying in Virginia beach, and I would hate to have a job that is good paying, that I love only to have to up and leave it in less than six months. My town is much smaller (where we are moving to) so how can I expect to get a job with a huge company that my town has not heard of (like KinderCare) when it won't do me any good when I move. So for now I'll work at a restaurant or retail.

Kevin got some new for work too. I won't go too much into detail but we found out that he may be getting out as soon as January. Dear god had I have known that I would have stayed put and readied everything for him to come to me. I suppose it doesn't matter now though. Whatever happens happens. It is what it is. We're together now and one way or another we're planning to stay that way. Even if it does mean moving again sooner, and possibly being quite broke. Wish us luck.
