This week I am thankful for my new job, plain and simple. Just the mere fact that I have a job at all is reason enough to be thankful, but it's more than that for me. For the past year I have felt overlooked, cast out, disregarded, not needed and thrown away. I guess a company acquisition will do that to a Finance person. I took it very personally, even though my practical brain told me not to....I couldn't help it as the months dragged by until the end! I wasn't being challenged, I didn't feel needed and I got very bitter.
But now, no matter if this is my dream job (it isn't) or not, I'm thankful for that feeling of being needed, wanted, challenged, stimulated and respected for what I am contributing. Until I started feeling that again these past two weeks, I had forgotten what that felt like......basically I had been more discouraged, disenfranchised and apathetic than I ever knew! I'm thankful for this new adventure, to be challenged, to have things expected of me, to have a team that depends on me and my contributions - all of it! YAY!
