Last week my Gratitude Monday post mentioned (somewhat
obliquely) that I’m looking
for fulltime employment. The post wasn’t actually about the job search, and Lord
knows there’s little enough gratitude-worthy about being out of regular work (although
I have found moments of brightness in it). Really, all I was doing was talking
about how practicing gratitude makes a difference in my life.
So today I’m grateful that someone in Virginia, whom I
know only
through another friend (and then Facebook), read the post and reached out
to me to ask where I live and what I’m looking for. Then she followed up with
two introductions via LinkedIn.
One of those has already connected with me, and I hope to
have a conversation with him soon.
Look—there’s no guarantee that this guy will lead to
something I can really sink my teeth into. But it might—indirectly, if not
directly.
And it’s the mere fact that someone noticed, offered to
help, and then did so that completely makes my day. Just, you know, humanity
and kindness. That makes all the difference in the universe when you’re trying
to push through challenges.
It also reminds me to do the same wherever I see the
opportunity, which is another cause for thanks.
