A Bump in the Road...

So, things in my life aren't going exactly according to my plan...I've been here before, and things have always turned out for the better for me...but, I'm anxious and confused about what my next direction will be...I HAD planned to take a paid internship with the school system in order to be able to afford my teaching credential training....NONE of the school systems in my area are using this program for the next school year...gotta love the California budget problems!  Looking for a job is not panning out well at all...I get up each morning and scour the internet for job leads...tweak my resume and cover letters and apply....no responses....I've registered with temp agencies, and have had only a couple of jobs with them....have applied for every job that I thought I was even remotely qualified for, including restocking shelves at supermarkets...no responses...I've advertised my two extra bedrooms for rent...no responses..my funds are running on empty....I have to remind myself that for me, it's always when things seem the most bleak that the right door opens...so, I am filling my days with chores around the house - all of the baseboards and moldings in my living room and hallways have been replaced and painted...I've signed up to volunteer at the library to teach reading to adults and children...the rose bushes in my back yard have been ferociously groomed...I'm more tan than I have been in years...working on finishing my bathroom remodel...and reminding myself that this too shall pass...
