Its the Little Things

I am job hunting right now which seriously sucks.  I have a spectacular work ethic, I am educated and more importantly, I am smart.  If there is something I don't know, I won't stop until I figure it out.  If I could get an interview, I know I would get the job but I am either too educated or have less experience than the other 800+ applicants.  This could get depressing if I let it, so I don't.

I find little things to bring me joy.  I feed my chickens or play with the hatchlings, I enjoy the sun while perusing job websites on my laptop, and I watch a little squirrel.  I have several squirrels in the yard but this one is smaller than the others.  She visits the bird feeder several times a day so I have taken to leaving little presents for her.  I leave a bit of apple or an almond and call to her, "here Squirrel, Squirrel" (not very inventive but useful) and she always comes over.  Lately she beats me to the feeder and waits about 6 inches away from me while hanging upside down on a tree trunk.  Little tiny things like this help me to maintain perspective and keep plugging along.  I am sure going to miss my little friends when I am working.
