Hope Floats

Accomplishments come in small steps or leaps and bounds.  Lately, I find that even the smallest of accomplishment should be celebrated.  As a South Floridian still trapped in foreign Montreal, I am desperately seeking sanity.  One of the smallest steps toward my independence was obtaining a credit card.  Yes, I am unemployed and have just secured a $1,000 credit limit.....   trusting country that Canada is.  I refuse to abuse this opportunity even though temptation is beckoning me!!

This comes on the heels of a step backward in the immigration process.  It would appear that I may have to have another medical exam because of a missing name on my application.  Ummm, the fact that you received my application in September and began processing it in November says nothing for the fact that you waited until JULY to tell me something was missing. I wouldn't be so upset if the medical exam doesn't expire on the 10th of August and the doctor is on HOLIDAY until MID-AUGUST!!!  

Sorry for yelling ...  I am trying to remain calm but I really want to start working again.  I need adults to talk to   (non-family adults that especially do not live in my house and are not 1,700 miles away).

I recently 'chatted' with my niece via Facebook and have acknowledged that never losing faith, always chasing your dreams and taking leaps of faith are the prescription for getting what you want out of life.  I like this idea and intend on adopting this into my life.  Smile about the funny things even if they come inside of a little despair.  My bad mood is affecting everything around me.

So, if you see me out and about (don't faint in shock first) and I have a stupid smile on my face it is not because I'm crazy (the jury is still out on that) but because I am finding happiness in every little thing.  I have to because there is way to much to be sad about.
