I have pretty well settled into my job at this point. It's been almost 6 months and I have established myself and become a part of the daily operations of a non-profit medical clinic. Despite that I still have moments of doubt. Too many years of working with people that in the long run were only out for themselves. I realize I have become very critical of people but at the same time I still have a great desire to help others. It is that desire that gets me going each morning and keeps me looking for the good in people all day at work. I am in a great mood most of the time because I realize that everything can go haywire in a hurry.
I have had life changing moments that have had a long lingering effect on me. I accept that as part of my life. By trying to remain upbeat and happy the more serious times are easier to handle. I try to save my deep thinking times for home, usually at night after my daughter has gone to bed. It's a good way for me to clear my head, rest and be ready for a new day. As I sit here writing this I am already feeling better about things. My doubting moments will always be there but I know I have the ability to get past them.

New job
I started a new job in Dec 2014 after 8 months out of work. I learned a lot about humility and stress during those 8 months. There were many tears and nights of restless sleep as I wondered if I would find a job again. 5 interviews in 8 months is all I had, despite putting out well over 100 applications. That really took a toll on my self esteem. Thankfully I had friends to help keep my spirits up and other activities to keep me busy.
The new job ended up being Security again but unlike anything I have ever worked before. I work for a Non Profit Medical Clinic 3 blocks from home. The atmosphere there is like nothing I have have ever experienced. A wonderful group of people that want to be there every day. I am learning about other cultures on a regular basis and making what I hope will be good friends with co-workers. Paid holidays and PTO are great benefits also, which I have not had before anywhere. Looking forward to learning much more as I progress in this this job.
