I got a job offer today!

congrats on getting the job. I know how hard it is to find jobs. It took me a while to find one. Don't worry about not knowing enough. You must have some great qualities that they were looking for because you were the one they selected.

"It is not easy to live life sometimes and face the world with a smile when you're crying inside. It takes a lot of courage to reach down inside yourself, hold on to that strength that's still there, and know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities. But if you can hold on long enough to see this through, you'll come out a new person - stonger, with more understanding and with new pride in yourself from knowing you made it"       Kathy Obara

Hi Gretchen!

Congratulations on your job offer!

Your letter worried me a bit about your boyfriend. Please be wary of a boyfriend who is not supportive or excited for you and your goals and dreams. You said he was more interested in having a playmate during the day..and I was a bit confused and concerned about this. Does he think of you as just that or someone to have fun with? If so, this is a red flag, and something to consider (that is, if you are looking for a healthy, long term relationshop with this person). Maybe it is time for a heart to heart with him to see what he is looking for and needing at this time of his life. Maybe I just misunderstood your letter, and if so, I apologize.

Glad your first day went OK. Hope today is even better. Hopefully as you get more into the job it will become more challenging. Keep us up to date on how things are going.

We can respond to irritation with a smile instead of scowl, or by giving warm praise instead of icy indifference. By our being understanding instead of abrupt, others, in turn, may decide to hold on a little longer rather than to give way. Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
