Inspiration

I just finished reading the last two days worth of blogs from my friend M.'s blog, Shooting the Moon, and got a good dose of inspiration.  I think about her a lot lately because she went through quite a bit of character and strength building last year, and she also is an actor which I find to be an extremely gutsy profession.  I feel like my recent move to Sydney is definitely requiring strength and patience and I currently have no profession.

I was reflecting over the weekend on how I have been rejected on a few different job applications and simply not heard from a few others and I really take those things to heart.  I've been very fortunate in my career history to have only been passed over on one job that I applied for.  All the other jobs I applied for, I landed straight away and had great success at.  It seems that all the right doors have opened up for me at all the right times so this recent barrage of closed doors and even no doors is really bringing me down.  Reading M.'s blogs about 'finding your bliss and doors open' and her most recent blog about being an actor brought me some peace and some inspiration to get back on my horse and kick some ass out of rejection. 

I logged back into my job posting website account and just had a marathon application session.  There were heaps of good postings today and I literally applied to 8 new jobs in the last two hours.  I feel awesome!!!  And in this awesome-ness, I decided to take a break from the apartment search.  I'm really two weeks too early to even be looking so all I'm doing is looking at places I can't have and it's causing stress and mild bouts of depression over my entire situation.

Instead, I went and got my filling replaced this morning and I'm going to catch up on some laundry, do a little reading and when the temperature drops down a bit from 97 degrees, I'm going to take Bailey out for a nice long walk.  These are things (with the exception of doing laundry) that bring me total bliss.  I love getting lost in a book and there are few things greater than walking through the woods and parks with Bailey, watching him rub his back in the grass or run ahead of me smelling trees and flowers, all the while looking back to make sure I'm close.  So I'm going to find my bliss today and see what doors may open when there were none.  Thanks, M.
