I have been thinking about my situation compared to last year. Last year I was suffering from post traumatic stress after working in Oakland USD and looking for a new job. I travelled all the way to Salinas looking for work. It was a very stressful time for me.
Now, I have new stressors but I am not so wierded out by them. I'm short selling my home and moving into a rental. My worry about school is creating a comprehensive curriculum for a new class and my commute costs to Antioch - which isn't that much really.
I was worrying about selling my home and all that but, I finally put things into perspective. Yes, I'm moving. BUT, I'm moving to a home closer to my daughter's school and where my son lives with his dad. My landlord is allowing me to bring my pets and is extremely accommodating. This is contrary to the horror stories I've been hearing about people being forced from their homes and having to give up their pets. My landlord even has inquired about buying my house, which would make it easy for me to straighten out my short sale and clear up my credit sooner. The rental has a huge back yard which is a nice oasis for me and my family. My landlord is picking up the tab for the gardner!!!!
My husband is taking steps to create his own company. This is wonderful! This time, last year, he was just realizing how much his boss was ripping him off and contacting his union.
I have to 'count my blessings' and my good fortune. I am also grateful that I have changed my karma and can celebrate the three kinds of treasure: treasure of the body (health), treasure of the storehouse (money, food, shelter) and treasures of the heart.
