I had the great honour of being asked to participate in someones 30 year medalion. How's does one get 30 years of continuous sobriety? One day at a time, same as the person who has 1 day of sobriety.
I went to VPI today(thats my new acronym to add to my vocabulary) they are the government funded counterpart of KWA (one my former company set up). So I wanted to find out about this program called 2nd career, where they help with people who have been laid off, and meet criteria to retrain "ie go back to school" You have to have 16 points to be considered a "supported" application, and I have 15. I can get 16-17 by being unemployed for 3 more months! They don't do "degrees" but will help with retraining in a college area with tuition and EI for the 2 years( I think). So now my brain going 100 miles per hour is thinking 3 months from now is 1st of July. So instead of not qualifying, my thoughts are to put in a supported applicaction in July and hope for the best. So now I have to decide am I going to contine to take a university course over the summer? This place has a whole bunch of workshops to attend about finding employment. Met an inspirational women there today working .She found herself owning her business married one day and the next pennliness and in a shelter. She fought back and she eventually went to retrain and just started at the career place a few months ago and she is 61! Such a lovely woman too! I am feeling slightly overwhelmed with the many decisions I have. I am also concerned now that my trip to India with my daughter may not happen if I do get into this second career. I need to meditate, breathe deep and know that everything is as it should be and will work out as it should, as long I do the next right thing each time with what is in front of me.
