What's Next?


I've been getting a bit discouraged the past few days as I do job searches. It seems like doors are just staying shut. There's lots of layoffs and the field that Tim's been doing for the past 9 years is not booming right now. All these questions are in my head: Do we go back to school and find a 'career' that will withstand the "economic times" even though we may not love it? Do we just stay put until he may get laid off and just go with the flow. Do I keep applying for dead end jobs? Do we look here or somewhere else? What's the point in thinking about what gives us passion if we can't make a living from it right now? Are we good enough?

Questions, Questions, Questions...

I started looking through youtube and I found this song...annnnd I started crying - hard. But the funny thing is that my crying lasted the length of the remainder of the song and now I'm feeling much better...and hopeful I guess?



I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
