1. Put God's Will First. Trust God. Focus on each day as it comes and Take Joy! from each day. 2. Take care of my health (mental and physical). 3. Give my kids the things and time they deserve. 4. Face Each Day's Tasks HONESTLY and Pro-actively. Keep up my ToDo list of things to tackle today and in the near future. 5. Enjoy the contentment with my life that comes from working on the first four goals: travel, fun, friends, family...TAKE JOY!
Specific Sub-Goals: Have a reliable car I'm proud to drive by Christmas of 2014. Earn at least $60,000 per year by December, 2015...or sooner.
Alright, I admit it. I'm discouraged about the Amish Country reporter job. It had all the right ingredients...relatively close...yadda, yadda...I will let it go. But, it's discouraging. Blah.

So, what happened? Did they tell you why you didn't get it?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
They gave the job to an in-house sports reporter who happened to live in the area. He wanted to be closer to home.
I did use the opportunity, since I had the editor's attention momentarily, to ask for any freelance feature/column writing opportunities...I asked if I could pitch him some column/feature ideas. We shall see.
Just a bummer...this job was pretty ideal in flexibility, location, my experience, etc...
But, I'm trusting. It's all good, right?
