Life is Goooood (Insert MN Accent Here)

Hi All,

As I sit I realize I haven't updated anyone on my most recent life changes. I am still enjoying my work as a fitness specialist at a local community center. Within my first two months I actually was offered the opportunity to become a nighttime manager twice a week which is exciting. I now can continue to build my resume (and kick off awkward job experience. "Tell me about your experience while working at Gap Body." "Well, I sold soccer moms underwear?"). I am thrilled at this new opportunity to at least have another job on my resume that demonstrates supervisory experience and some sort of authority.

All of these new opportunities (mixed with old blessings of work) also come with crazy hours, lack of sleep, weird eating times and meals (Trail mix and apples with cheese are a regular now) little time with my family or friends. 65 hours weeks are lonnnng! But I am constantly reminded that my abundance of luck and fortune every time I turn on the news and hear the unemployment rate, or see someone ask for change on the street.

Through a chain of very fortunate events, I have been blessed with a wonderful living space, a roommate who sings You Are My Sunshine to me on a regular basis, and jobs that have provided me with the ability to pay my bills and buy Christmas presents for my family and friends. Sure, when the snow comes down I want to not shovel. When I am working at 8 am until 11 pm I am exhausted and feel like taking a snooze before driving home, but ultimately, I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunities that have flowed in abundance towards me.

Blessings to you all during this joyous time!

Amy
