P.S.: Secrets Shared

After writing my last post, and feeling downhearted about my chances to get the call, I indulged in one of my favorite activities: blog reading, specifically Foreign Service blog reading. It's always proven to be informative and entertaining. In this case, it also happened to be very inspiring. I visited the blog This Sojourning Life and happened upon an entry called "The Secrets of Adulthood.

Here are the excerpted "secrets" that moved me:
- Just in Time - things have a way of showing up just when you really need them - not when you thought you did.  Be patient, relax and ... 
- Have Faith - it may not turn out the way you think it should at the time, but it will be fine - and may even take you to new places that expand your horizons. 
- Absolutely nothing can change or take away the love that your family and real friends feel for you.  And that is all that is important. 
- Ask for what you want.  Get clear, be concise and direct - and use your words to ask for what you want - whether it's to a person or to the universe - put it out there.  If you don't ask - no one will know what you want.
It was very timely to run across this entry. It was just what I needed and has made me feel better.

About the Author

I'm a novelist and former news writer. I'm also single mom with one child at home and one in college. I spent 15 years overseas, returned to the States several years ago. I've always wanted to join the Foreign Service -- (Doesn't that sound trite?) -- and now think it would be a wonderful time to do so.
