Ruby Slippers Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 ...the annual contract that a longstanding client just renewed! My biggest focus right now is on making more money, paying off business debts, and saving. I'm doing OK, but with this big upfront payment coming in soon, I'll have a lot more breathing room for at least the next quarter. Whew! I feel like I can relax again. This is a thread where I invite you to finish the sentence "I'm thankful for..." I've found that counting your blessings creates more of them! 14 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ruby Slippers Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm thankful that I just got an interview for a good consulting gig that starts next week! If I get it, I'll be very busy with this full-time, in-office assignment on top of running my business. But I've done it before, and making more money is my top concern at the moment, so I hope I get it! Interview is Thursday afternoon. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ruby Slippers Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I didn't get the gig I interviewed for. But even though I need the money, after the interview I also felt like it probably wasn't the best fit. It's slightly disappointing, but not a big deal in the grand scheme. I'm thankful that I've matured to the point where I don't take things like this personally, but keep the faith and keep moving forward. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Rainbowlove Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm thankful for my wife, son and family. I'm thankful for sustaining 30+ years of friendships with my 4 best high school GF's, they have been my rock for all these years. I'm thankful for my job. I'm thankful for the ability to laugh and love and play. We are not very religious folk, but I like to teach my son gratitude, he's four. So just before dinner, we hold hands and each take a turn saying what we are grateful for. My son always laughs and says he's grateful for lolly pops....I love that answer. It never gets old and always makes me laugh. The best part is he knows he's being funny. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
