Hope Springs Eternal

The hubby often busts my ovaries over the fact that I am a constant sunshine-up-your-ass blower. Despite having an occasional breakdown, I do like consider myself the glass half full kind of gal. And even when things are bad in my life I'm very quick to point out that we don't have it as tough as this person or these people. "so and so would trade places with us in a heartbeat." or "You and I have been through so much worse!" Brain Cancer anyone?? And these past few weeks there have been many times that I tried to convince him and myself. That there was something better just around the corner we just had to stay calm, cool, & collected. This of course drove him nuts he would typically do something like bend over and go "here ya go I want to make it easier for the blowing" (my that sounds just WRONG when I repeat it doesn't it?)

And it paid off...The job drama has been remedied in the last week, can I get a Hallelujah?! And man is it a fun gig. I get to manage & market this cool little indie coffee shop. Nay this is not one of those places where emo kids sip lattes & post their undying love for whatever cool unheard of band on their myspace page. (I can say that now because I was SOOOOO one of those types of people back in the day only it was tea and fanzines then!!)

Under my watch though, if some misfit kids feel at home there thats a okay with me. This place has so much potential especially in a small town with absolutely nothing to do on the weekend but "hang out at the end of purple man road" or "go party in bubba's trailer" (actual quotes I kid you not) Enter ME!! There are actually some very talented folks in the area. Acoustic, Bluegrass, Americana it's all there and thensome. And I'm really excited to offer up a venue for them to play and for people to enjoy their music. And get exposed to music that otherwise would never reach them. This is a dream job!! ANNNNNND... the possibility is there for it to one day be mine! I won't tell you more for the deep heart stopping fear of jinxing it all prevents me from disclosing futher. But just when it seemed all was truly lost. When I got up, dusted myself off (for the gazillionth time)and tried like hell to find something good in my day yet another wonderful opportunity fell into my lap.

Yes often times life is just so grossly unfair. In my book that's all the more reason to celebrate the good stuff when it finally does come your way. And more importantly to remind yourself that this too shall pass.
