There has to be a way to make things work. Sure, you (the "general" you, not you specifically) might have to give some things up or scale some things back (like watching TV or something like that), but it's all about making things fit in a schedule and working. I'll help as much as I can! :) Exactly. There has to be a way to make things work.

While I have to find something fast, I plan to use what time I have at home for writing and enjoying the time off. One of the reasons I started this blog is to think of ways to help myself and others who juggle work, writing, and life. I hope by writing about this layoff that I can focus on what's important to me, which is a good job, writing, and having time for you and other people I care about.

Whether it's getting a another job and learning even more to improve yourself, or getting big goals rolling or finished like writing. I just know you'll be able to do a lot with this. I like that you view it as an opportunity. Staying positive and focused right now is the best thing we can do. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in 2010!
