09/01/09 Horoscope

Change is in the air, and it's pretty much impossible to resist. See if you can focus on the positive and get others to do the same -- things should start to make more sense in the very near future.

You are less likely to be outgoing today, but you still have a lot to say. Silent meditation or a short journey into the magic of your own imagination can help you to find a way to soothe your energies. Even if you choose to get away from the outer turmoil by escaping into your dreams, you'll still have to face the issues in your mind that you avoid in real life.

It's very true.

Ever since we've moved here to Carmel, things really have been so much more positive, relaxed, and smoother. I've been happier. Honestly, I know what it is, and it's because the factor of the unknown has been taken out of the equation. Ever since Lowell graduated, and he took the job in Bloomington that was only supposed to last six months (but ended up being two years), and not knowing every six months whether or not he would have a job was just pure anxiety. Not knowing what was going to happen. Are we staying here or not? Are you going to have a job or not? Hate is an understatement of how I felt about the whole situation.

However, now that he's taken this new job doing sales for a fairly recent company that's started in the past couple of years (and growing rapidly) there really is no set date of unemployment. No unknown except our own. It's in OUR hands and not someone else. It's a sigh of relief to know that our fate is ours again and that we are back in control.

We both have jobs that we enjoy. Our new apartment is becoming more like a home everyday, the furkids are healthy and happy, and so are the rest of our families. Even though we took a pay-cut with this job, it turns out, with the amount of sales he has been doing (which is double what the last guy did I might add, so yes I'm proud), his commission, and the portion I contribute with my paycheck, we are actually making more. How that happened, I don't know, but we sure are glad.

Yes, we are tight right now because it's always tight the first couple months you move to a new place. And we should know since we've done it four times in the past four years, but hopefully we'll be able to stay here for as long as we can and begin to finally save.

Life is good right now and I'm glad I'm here to be able to enjoy it with my LJ.

P.S. See...I told you I'd be updating more often! :P
