Keep Going

Hi, again. Last Sunday I got offered a job at a frozen yogurt/coffee shop right in the middle of downtown. The past week has been great, but challenging. The only jobs I've ever had were desk jobs and now I'm on my feet for 4-8 hours a day. My feet have been throbbing to say the least. I really, really like the girls I work with. They're all around my age and super welcoming, which makes work a lot more comfortable.

I've been feeling a bit discouraged because I'm not being payed as much as I was at my last job. I'm also just super ready to get my own place with Autumn. I just need to remember to look at how far I've come, not how far I have to go. When I really sit to think about it I'm really proud of myself. I got a job in less than a week of moving here, I've been active, and I'm eating pretty healthy for the most part. It's one of the first times in my life I can say I'm proud of where I am in my life. I'm proud of my effort. I'm really putting forth a lot of it these days. I'm trying to just commit to life like crazy right now and I think it's paying off in ways I don't even see right now.

I've learned that the only time you should ever look back on your life is to see how far you've come. If you haven't come a long enough way, that's more of a reason to keep going.
