When life throws you lemons, you have a few choices.. the obvious is to make lemonade.. or lemon water in my case! I love lemon water.. nutritious, and yummy!
Recently, my company laid off my department, rather quickly. I had a few choices. I could cry like some people did. I could sulk. I could look at the bright side and look for other jobs (which I did) . I decided to look at this as a great opportunity for a new career path. I mean I have been in my current position for 7 years! That is a long time and that time sometimes makes you complacent. Which I was. There was no challenge most days. I enjoyed what I did for the most part. I knew my job backwards and forwards and could do it in my sleep. I was never off. Checking emails at night was the norm.
The same day as the lay off. I contacted someone regarding another position in the company. I got it! The new position is full of challenges, and dealing with happy people. Which is such a nice change! I am slammed, but I am loving it. I am now hourly, so my working for lunch all these years finally pays off, because now I get to leave early!
I am so thankful I kept a positive outlook. I truly think that was part of the reason the universe sent me this new job. I am truly grateful for lemons.. as they help me make some yummy things!
