Time For a Change

Some times you just need to go with what life hands you. Yesterday I ended up talking with a few fellow bloggers through email. Part of the conversation was about diet and exercise. They also each provided me with a link to a website for additional information or service. Now this was not solicited but they both, on their own, did this for me.

I am of the belief that things happen for a reason. I once was unjustly fired from a job (at least I think it was unjustly) but none the less, here I was without a job. It was devastating to me and I took probably two years to fully recover from this. In the end, however, it was a dead end job. It was working on dead end technology. They really did not pay attention to me what things they needed to do to improve things. There was not much of anything I could walk away from that job and add to a resume that would help me land another job. The one good thing that came from that job was a few contacts that eventually help me land my next job. In this case I think getting fired helped me move my career along.

So here I am being presented with some very good information. And each person, in their own way, provided me with a little extra pep that I needed to get the much needed diet and exercise going. I think I needed to take advantage of this and get things going. So it would appear New Years will be coming early for me as well this year.

So to Lara and SignGurl, thank you so much my friends. You both have provided me with an inspiration. The rest is up to me.
