As my facebook friends already know, Mike lost his job yesterday. Thanks to everyone for all of the kind words and encouragement. We've been through this before, and look, we're just fine. I have no doubt we'll be fine this time too. It's just a little bump in the road. :)

Bonjour Diane! I am so sorry about your hubby's job ... After rain comes sunshine, right? And it always comes ... Sending my best thought to you. Take care, LuLu xxx
Hi Diane, So to hear this. I have to say that I just love your positive attitude!! I am such a frog person and I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! Hoping that you Sugar Nellies take off on friday with the blog hop. :o) hugzzz janny
So sorry for you and your hubby! Its never fun to "lose" a job but your outlook is so positive. You have the wisdom of looking back if you have been through this before. My Dad closed a business that was no longer profitable when I was 20 and in college. My two unemployed parents took me on a three week long vacation. They didn't let the fact that he didn't have a job stop them from enjoying that time. It was wondeful and in no time he was gainfully employed again. My advice to you and your honey is to take the time to do something that you've wanted to do but didn't have the time before. Sending a big hug to you! Heidi
I somehow missed that on Facebook! I am sorry to hear about this "bump in the road"! I have faith that when one door closes a wonderful window opens and new adventures come forth :). I admire your positive attitude. You are just like your art...joyful and optimistic. The frog is super duper cute! Your froggy bloggy friend, The SnipPet Girl
Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. We too are struggling with the slow economy as my Mike has been laid off for several months now with it looking very bleak for at least a full year yet to come before he *may* even get called back to work (construction sector). Just stay positive and do your best! Have a great day! ~Stacey
I'm so sorry to hear this! I firmly believe things happen because they are suppose to. Your positive attitude will be a great force in moving things forward.
I'm sending positive thoughts your way. Take care, hun.
It makes me cringe! I hope he finds work quickly. Times are really tough. I never dreamed we'd see times like this. Having done it before, you know what you are likely up against. Can your husband sing? Have him join the band and enjoy the ride.
Hi Diane I am sorry to hear your husband lost his job. We know what that's like. After you get over the initial shock and begin to think about what other opportunities might be awaiting you, then it's easier to deal with. Perhaps there is something even better ahead for you :)
Hi there, I just found your blog through the Sugar Nellie hop and I'm amazed at your artwork. They're so magical! Sorry to hear about your hubby but your positive attitude is inspiring. I'll be back to visit again and again...Abby:)
I work in animation, and in entertainment, we really know the joys of regularly looking for work. Here's wishing you and your hubby well, I'll be looking for a new gig in three weeks as well. All the best!
wishing you all the best during your bump in the road. everything always works out for the best in the end.

ReplyDeleteGosh, it just seems like everytime I turn around this economy hits someone else.
I so envy your positive attitude, as I find myself more of a "wallower" at times.
I wish your husband all the good luck in the world on finding a new, (and maybe even better) job.
