Yesterday afternoon I had a singularly wonderful experience: someone actually WANTED me, almost begged me to apply for a job. That brought on a very warm-all-over feeling.
It is a position with a not-for-profit, and has a mission that I believe in very much. It would provide me an opportunity to use skills that I haven't used for some time, and to develop and hone new skills. It would allow me to stay in Lafayette, and become even more active in the community. It would be working in an environment that is very affirming for all who are involved.
So, why haven't I said "YES, I want that job?" Well, there are a couple of downsides. And it is early in the process of my search, and I don't want to take something and then something better presents itself. That is the fear - the unknown. I wish that I had a crystal ball in which I could see the future - don't we all??? So the question of the day is when to say yes?
In the meantime, I plan to apply, and if it is meant to be, it will be. Time will tell.
Later,
Elaine Marie
