So Many Choices...

As soon as I started applying for jobs in Hawaii, it seems that many doors where I currently live in New Mexico have suddenly opened to me.  In the past week, I have been offered three new employment opportunities and that job in Maui that I desperately sought is not a closed door, but one that is being delayed.  Apparently, I was being considered for a position when a new center on the island opens in a few months, not the center where I thought I would be working.  I am interested in working at the new center, but it was a surprise to hear that my hiring might be put on hold.  In the meantime, two job opportunities arose in my area without me sending out a single application.  I was contacted by these companies and I was offered a promotion and major salary increase at my current employer. 

Many people might say "forget Hawaii."  Many people would just gladly take the promotion and be satisfied.  I did take the promotion.  It's my second promotion at my employer in the past 8 months.  I have been doing well, but I still want to move to Hawaii.

It will only bolster my resume and give me a better chance of landing my perfect dream Hawaiian job!

It's difficult to consider new opportunities at any other locations at this time.

I still find myself having dreams of being in a warm, tropical breeze, listening to the sound of waves crashing on the beach while smelling the salty ocean air, but for now, it will have to just wait.

Life is best lived one day at a time, and today, I am happy to have received a promotion and being doing well at my current job.  I have income, food, clothing and a roof over my head.  That is plenty to be content with and thankful for...

Until next time, Aloha and Mahalo for reading my blog.
