Back to Blogging

Yeah, so when I started this blog I'd intended to write in once a week or so. And now it's been almost a year since I posted. My bad, sorry followers...all two of you, lol. I suppose I'll do a quick summary of the past year, just to catch up someone who hasn't been paying attention to the intricate plot of the Elisabeth Show.

I applied and was denied Social Security. Twice. That sucked. So I went back to work, got a job at McDonalds, wound up in the ER with an injured back and am now job searching again. That's pretty much everything of note that's happened in my life in the past year.

Kind of sad, really.

This year I plan to change that.

I'm in the running for a job I would LOVE, working a pet store. I would be so awesome at that, and I would enjoy going to work every day. Or at least not dread the thought of it. It's been pointed out to me that most people don't enjoy their jobs, and I just can't fathom why someone would continue to spend 1/3 of their life in a place they hate when they have the option to change it. I believe it's important to not hate your job, you'll be healthier and happier for it. And isn't finding a way to be happy the whole point of life?

Then again, maybe the point of life is finding a purpose.

But if you have a purpose, isn't that fulfillment? And isn't fulfillment a big part of happiness?

Money is nice, and you need a job to get money (unless you're a special case, and I'm apparently not a special case even though I consider myself one...but that's a whole other blog). But having to work doesn't mean you have to be unhappy. You might not make as much money, but here's a big secret that Hollywood and most major media outlets don't want you to realize: WEALTH IS NOT HAPPINESS!!!!

Having enough is an awesome feeling. I may not be able to buy an expensive sports car or live in a mansion, but I have food in my cupboards, a reliable car that gets me where I want to go and a cozy apartment that feels like home to me. My bills get paid (mostly), my appliances work (usually) and my pets eat well (always). Really, how could I ask for more?
