Waiting Patiently

Art: Thoughts of you by Jack Vettriano

So, sometimes this is what you have to do when you are not in control of a situation yourself. For instance, perhaps searching for jobs, yes we apply, do follow ups, even go on interviews, but there is always a period of waiting. And I think it is quite better to wait patiently, than to be stressed.

I love this piece, well I love every piece I post! But there is such a calm presence here, and one we all need sometimes.

Contemplation

So, you may have noticed that I haven't posted any pieces lately. As such, I find that I should post two pieces today. But first I should start with a classic, and one that speaks so clearly on my situation these past few weeks.

For anyone who may be in the current state of looking for a job, in these tough economic times, you can relate to contemplating on whether to change your goals etc.

To keep " a long story" short, as I am posting another piece, I did mention before that I just completed graduate studies. Well that places me among the many job seekers and sometimes the "endless" search makes you just want to go to a "hidden" place for meditation and contemplation. As such this piece to me is a perfect example. Enjoy!

Watching a New Beginning

Art: Atardecer en Cadaques by Inés Tor

Coming off of the holiday break, I felt the need to post something that reminds me of the dawning of a new year. During the minute between New Year's Eve and New Year's day, some get that feeling of a new dawn emerging. The sign to start life "anew" or "afresh".

This stands as a symbol of that, to me, especially being able to bring in the New Year beside the love of your life.
