Realizing How Much I May Like This After All

I have successfully completed one week of training for my new gig with MICROS, and I must say that so far, I think I just may really enjoy this! It's a HUGE lifestyle change, and I do indeed miss my fam and friends, but honestly, I don't feel like I've lived my life to the fullest and I think this job may just help me do that. I spent a LONG time in school, and after I graduated, I had no idea what I was going to do with myself. I love the hospitality business, and I think that I'm pretty good at what I do. So now, with MICROS, I'll be traveling from hotel to hotel and installing an operating system for these different hotels. And all the while, I will be seeing new cities, and hopefully sometime soon; new countries!! I never really traveled much before now, mostly because of school, work, and partly because I was playing "house" in a relationship whose time had run out. I truly would like to embrace this opportunity and use this time to get to know myself... what I like, what I don't, and how I see the next few years of my life. I don't feel very cultured, and I would really like to broaden my horizons (so to speak), and get to know other people and their cities, attractions, and culture. My next stop will be Niagara Falls, NY, and I am ridiculously ecstatic! I also have to get over a fear of planes, but a wise woman once told me to not worry about things I cannot control! So I won't! Wish me luck guys!!

Boy, I tell ya...

You know, it seems no matter how much you may think you've got it all under control, God let's you know that you most certainly do not! This thing called life is a funny thing indeed! I have begun my new adventure working for MICROS, and I am truly excited! All seems to be going well, and out of nowhere, I get some frustrating news. Not to go into too much detail, but let's just say things have just gotten REAL! I was told that God would not give me or my family more than we could handle, and this for sure, I believe to be true. So I will trust and believe that as He shuts one door, He will open another. With this blog, I hope to open my heart, and trust that no matter how bad things may seem now, they won't always be this way forever. I have a fabulous family that always bends over backwards for me no matter what, and now, I feel I shall return the favor. I can only imagine how much worse others situations are and appreciate the fact that I am blessed to be so fortunate. I have very influential people in my life, namely my parents. They are survivors, and have taught me that no matter what, you do what you've got to do, when you've got to do it. Point blank period!!
