Perspectives photo challenge in Black and White

I wanted to participate in the black and white photo challenge but I couldn't get it posted on Friday. I think you will agree that these are some of my best photos and I am so excited to share them with you. The first two are in Seattle. The space needle is my number one photo, in my opinion. The final photo was in Australia and I don't know which beach but it was definitely the east coast. I would also like to share with you about perspectives. My husband and I were separated for two years because he was in grad school in another state. It was the hardest two years of my life and I didn't have enough of a support system. It was critical that I kept my perspective in check and stay positive. There were a lot of times I wasn't successful. There's always going to be some form of stress in my life and I am focusing on staying positive.

Perspective

Today’s rating is Positive.

I had to regain perspective because I got offended by nothing. Sometimes, I have to think about things from another’s point of view. Other times, I need to think about what I’ve learned. In the end, I feel better and that’s most important.

I have talked to another company about a job in the new state. My calendar is free but I expect to fill up my first week with interviews. I am thanking God for all of the leads and I am praying for the wisdom to land the right job. Amen!

Excitement builds

Today’s rating is Positive.

As I count the days, I am growing more excited. I know that there are some big changes coming and its going to be very good. On some of my toughest stressful days, feeling excited about something in the future helps me get through the day. Its a big relief and sometimes all that can be done is to change your perspective.

I am still on the hunt for a new job. There are still some possible prospects but I will be patient for now. I’ll just keep the hunt for now and pray for the wisdom to accept the right position.

Tough Tuesday

Today’s rating is Negative.

I found out that my commute is being turned upside down when I thought things would be ok. My toes were freezing, since it was single digits on the way home. I understand that I’m a very sensitive person, I find its the little things that upset me the most.

On the other hand, I did a good job at work and I’ve got exciting plans in about three weeks. Sometimes, its just a matter of perspective. If I put things into proper perspective, these little things don’t add up to much. I am going to have to remember that for tomorrow too.
