40 Days of Gratitude (Day II)
Praise the bridge that carried you over.

Day II. My Economical Self-Worth
I wrote in a twitter today that another new person freaked today when they realized my contract still ends on December 3rd. And once, again, said they'd be talking to my boss. Third or fourth person in the last week and half. And while that makes my heart swell that people need me, that isn't exactly my gratitude point.
My gratitude to the universe today about my job and my self-worth, is being able to recognize ten months later that if I don't get extended or offered a job? It has nothing to do with me. Who I am. The kind of work I do. The kind of employee I am.
It'll have to do with money. And the worst Cat (Catastrophe) Year ever.
And there's something very peaceful about knowing that.
About knowing people recognize me, my work, my worth, my contributions. About know losing a position might stress me and my bills out, but it won't be a sudden sledge hammer to who and how I value yourself. Just being able to say that aloud, and recognizing deep inside my chest, how long the journey was from summer of 2010 and how much I've changed, how much of me I've found.
