Musings

It's winter. I enjoy walking outside in my cute winter coats, hats and mittens. Breathing in the chilly air. The festive lights lining Broadway are heralding in a new season of love and giving. Perhaps...

I am doing better than I have been lately. However, I am really down on myself when I consider where I am nearly six years after graduating college. I compare myself to others to no end. I see people making more money, having nicer apartments (without roommates), being professional, having grown-up conversations to which I feel too dumb to contribute (which is of course ridiculous) and just being happier, more productive members of society. And then I see so many of my peers who are happily married and with cute little kids running around. It is reassuring to see that many of these young parents are older though (eg late thirties). It gives me a little hope.

In other news, I got a job! It is a sales position at a huge corporate entity which should have some good benefits... if I can hold down the job. Wow, there is promise. I'm quite nervous though and have very little confidence that I will succeed. I just hope that I won't regret not having done more to investigate job fields and whatnot during all this downtime that I have had. By the way, I found a new website called the Unemployed Tourist that has all kinds of cheap/free things to do in NYC from 9-5.. Hmm... wish I had found that earlier!

I guess things are on the up and up... we'll see how things go...

PS It's snowing now! Flurries are so pretty from inside where it's nice & warm & toasty!
