Amuse Me - PLEASE!!!!

Chipper is always smiling, always happy. She is the Muse to visit when you are down or angry or out of sorts. I have been out of sorts for the past few days.

(WARNING - This paragraph is whining. You can skip to the next one if you don't want to hear it) I am awaiting an answer to a job proposal I submitted on the 1st of this month.. It is to continue as editor of the magazine I have edited for 10 years. An acceptance will provide my income for the next year. A rejection will leave me without an income I have counted on for the past 10 years. It is a scary place to be since I have two houses (one has been on the market for about 9 months now). I am trying to let God sort it out and I know what ever happens will be exactly what is supposed to happen. But the unknowing and uncertainty is wearing on me. I put a 10 day limit on the proposal. That was last Friday and I still am waiting for an answer. I am the type of person who just wants to know the answer, good or bad. Then I can deal with it. The waiting to hear is almost unbearable for me. My stomach gets in knots, I imagine myself out on the street homeless, I do crazy things to myself. But it is a powerful decision. The results may determine moving back to my Florida house and finding a job. So it is a critical time. Enough about my proposal, I just had to get it out.
Let's talk about being amused. I love to dance. It always makes me feel happy. When my feet are moving, I am happy.

Susan of Art AngelIX has this beautiful creation "Kyabi is the part of life circumstances over which individuals have no direct control." Out of my control is where I am right now.

Corey of Tongue and Cheek has again amused me with seven wonderful vie lecons (life lessons). Merci!!

PS - Darla of Bayside to Mountainside left me this comment about yesterday's post that I love: "If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." - Anonymous Thanks Darla!!! I am off to raise my prices!!!

I'm hoping your answer comes in today.

If you get to SF I'd love to get together. We plan to be at the Mt. House a lot in the summer but maybe luck with be with us and I'll be in the Bay Area when you are.

Good luck with your proposal. I am impatient too and have a very hard time getting on with things when something important is hanging in the balance.
