It sure does, especially when I am talking about disappointment. The big ones can be devastating…real life changers. But don’t under estimate the small ones. Sometimes they really add up and bruise your self esteem or sometimes the surprise is what gets you. Today was pretty generic in all senses of the word and I was going about my business. Checked my email and received notification that I was not selected for a volunteer position I had applied for recently. I really wanted the position because it would give me a chance to use my journalism skills to help promote an organization in which I truly believe. I am in the process of career transition and this opportunity would have been good for me professionally and personally.

I have always believed that how one deals with disappointment is the hallmark of her character. It’s ok to feel the disappointment for a while, but then it’s time to move on. Well, I moved on…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure what it says about my character, but the pool and the sun sure improved my mood.
