I am still me

Nothing like stripping away a major source of my identiy to know my true self. The irony is that my career is very important to me. To be able to problem solve or contribute in my own way has been an integral part of my existence. So the job search continues.

I look back to the last time I was unemployed, and I am grateful that I no longer feel helpless. It was tough because I was married at the time. I am more cautious this time around to get into a serious relationship during this period of uncertainty. Still, it's amazing to feel this serenity and embrace the unknown.

Watching some of the reality shows made me see that I am just not ambitious in the traditional, focused way. Although I am neurotic and very analytical by nature, my ability to let it all go is the key to my happiness. I love to ride the wave despite its uncertainty and know that it's the best place to be.
