Things have a way of working out

As I set here with my glass of wine, I start thinking about how the first week of orientation up until today went.  As I set and reflect, I have to admit that this week that has just past was a good week considering I was nervous.  I guess the first thing I should talk about tonight is how my job went because this is vital in my life.  Besides the fact that I had to be at work at 8am every morning, the orientation went well.  I met many wonderful people and even received a bike out of it.  The only thing is, I am yet to learn how to change gears on it.
     For the first week I rode the bus to the last stop which was about 20 minutes from my job.  The one thing I can say about New York City is it taught me not to depend on a car.  The nice thing about Texas though is people are very friendly and offer rides.  Need-less to say, I didn't have to walk much to my job.
     Going to work seemed to be fine but I actually had someone offer me a ride from work.  I of course refused and after I kept thinking to myself how just because someone offers me a ride doesn't mean they want something in return.  Perhaps in New York City it was this way but not here.  At least I hope not.  This could be a chance to meet the people I work with and that is one thing I would like to do is meet more people and make more friends.  I have since taken chances but only from people that I work with and of course I have a neighbor who I am starting to get close to on a friendship level and nothing more.
     The good thing about my job is I am making more than my previous job and I have a feeling I will be out of debt by next month with my everyday bills.  I  am also getting the confidence to talk to the people in this apartment complex and get to know them.  Even though things are going good for me here, I also needed to be a friend to Charlotte in New York.  Things that where going on in her life where bringing her down and causing problems with her and her husband.  She realized that she needed a job but it took me helping her realize that taking a job to help with the bills where fine and everything but she also needed to get one so she can have independence and not have to depend on her husband as much.  Charlotte has always given me strength, it was time for me to do the same for her and I did.
While watching the movie with Julia Roberts "Eat, Pray, Love" there was a scene where she was in search of a word.  So I started thinking of my word and I think my word would be a friend, or even a sister.  It seems I am more of a Diva and if I can learn to balance all those qualities together than I know things will always have a way of working out.
     Until next time....Be Blessed
