Baby steps.
New York City feels colder to me these days since I was laid off. Not having somewhere to go every day where I made my small contribution, has put me in a very strange frame of mind. For six years I was part of something that I really enjoyed. I met great people and learned a lot about how the entertainment business works. It was a frustrating and yet really fascinating time. I feel like I still had so much more to contribute. There's no use in lamenting what could have been. Live in the moment right? Oh well, you know what they say, "everything happens for a reason..." We'll see.
I wish I was on that beach right now.
I find as I get older that the sun feeds me. I love the warmth of the sun on my skin. I feel happier when it's bright and sunny. My energy spikes, there's a spring in my step and all is right in the world. Okay, that's taking it too far but you get my meaning.
I'm trying to keep a positive outlook on things despite my current unemployment. Living in New York City is not an easy thing to do in the best of times, never mind when you don't have a steady income. For the time being I'm collecting a severance from my former employer but that won't last very long. Then, there's unemployment benefits that too many people are on these days. Who knows when that will kick in and how long it will last. My greatest hope is that I find a job before I find out. Keep your fingers crossed!
In the meantime, I enjoy the little things. A new Netflix movie in my mailbox, my daily dose of General Hospital, my e-mail conversations with Jenne, DVR and Goldminer Las Vegas. At least I have that.
Hasta pronto!
