I sure hope I will soon be able to breathe new life and direction into my career. It's quite obviously the next step in my recovery process. I try not to allow my mind to wander too much because when it does I am apt to start ruminating a bit too much on how I have looked for a 'real' job for three years to no avail. I don't believe it is anything in particular that I am doing wrong that has contributed to my difficulty in finding work that sustains me both financially and otherwise. But perhaps I will get more good feedback in the coming weeks.
This week I began browsing around in the hope of finding a local organization that can provide me some vocational rehabilitation services. I was recently determined to be eligible for such services; I met with my vocational rehabilitation counselor last week and was provided a listing of organizations I can be referred to. I simply have to learn more about them and choose which organization I wish to partner with.
I want to believe that a new, more exciting and more fulfilling chapter of my life is about to begin. I certainly feel as if I have worked very hard to achieve something more with my career than I have thus far created since completing graduate school three years ago. I never quite imagined my life would look like this...that I would find myself enmeshed in so many difficulties for so long. I'd like to believe that the worst is finally over now. I have often felt the amount of effort I have put into my job search has not been commensurate with the results I have thus far obtained. Perhaps that will soon finally change.
I have enjoyed writing my blog quite a bit this last year. I intend to continue writing it though I suspect it might begin to morph into something a bit more expansive in the next year. I would like writing to be something I do more of in my future work.
I am committed to making my future better than my past.
Here is hoping...
