The past few weeks, I’ve been griping and whining about how horrible my job has been and how I’ve been finding it difficult to keep a positive attitude (which I promised myself I would do in 2014). Circumstances have gotten me very down, and at times, I have felt like I’m in a hopeless situation. … Continue reading The Universe Works In Mysterious Ways
