Never give up; you never know until you try.
As you know if you've read or even scanned my blog any time in recent months, I'm looking for a job. It's a disheartening, confusing, demeaning process that can make the strongest of us resort to thumb-sucking, sobbing, tantrum-throwing, and quitting altogether.
I own up to at least one of the above, but I refuse to give up. God didn't put me here and equip me with the abilities that I have for me to crawl in a hole somewhere. I know that someone, somewhere, will appreciate and use my abilities and not just stick me somewhere doing a job that I can do in my sleep, for pay that wouldn't support the average tween. I just have to keep looking.
I was going over my agenda for the week, having spent (wasted) several hours in fruitless job-searching activities, when I checked out "Lumosity," which I'd seen on television. As I figured, it is in part a fee-based program, but there are free games, as well. I don't know about the claims of "train your brain," but it did offer a few-minute respite from my negative-thinking spiral. Check it out!

This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
