jobless but not clueless

To those of you who are gainfully employed, being laid off might seem like an opportunity to enjoy life and stop and stop to smell the roses. With so much time on my hands and a very limited budget, I find myself unable to fully enjoy the benefits of this time. With an economy of such incertainty, my lovely stash of cash will soon run out. As fun as it has been to hang out at coffee shops and chauffeur my friends to work, I would rather be earning my keep.
Thankfully I've been able to land a great coaching jobs to help me throw this time. The extra cash and energy has become my being and I am loving working with such wonderful families and kids. Although each day has its own trials, it is definitely keeping my smiles wide and my legs strong.


I'm even considering taking another coaching course...yeah, after going through the ranks of snowboarding and promising myself I was done taking coaching courses, I find myself wanting to learn, wanting to better my skills, wanting to move forward. Movement is important, it shows I'm motivated again. I just wish I was motivated enough to paint again, but that is another story for another day. Small victories, one at a time. jc
