Reinventing the wheel

It's been over a year now since I was laid-off. Some days are better than others. I had two interviews (two different companies) last week. But as the days go by and I don't hear anything from the companies, I tend to get discouraged.

Today on the news there was a story of a man in the same boat as me. He decided to reinvent himself. In the last year he earned $87,000 bowling. That's right, bowling! So that got me to thinking...how can I reinvent myself?

Where do I start? What do I like to do? What am I good at doing? What will provide me an income? These are all questions I must answer. For some reason it is easier for me to answer the opposite of these questions. I know what I want (a job that I like). What do I like to do..I know what I don't like to do. Am I good at anything?? How does a 51 year old earth dog reinvent herself?

I like gambling but its obvious I'm not very good at it. Nor am I lucky. I like doing cross-stitch, knitting, etc. but I don't do it often enough to make money at it, nor am I that good. So what can I do to provide an income? Its obvious to me I must find a menial desk job. A friend suggest that I write. I thought perhaps I will just log my life on the blog again. Who knows, maybe it will provide an enlightment down the road.

Until next time.....
