One door closes, another opens

When my husband lost his job last month, I thought it was the end of the world. But... as my mother used to say, "when one door closes, another opens." He found out yesterday that he has been accepted for a position with a new company that I think will be a much better fit for him. I am so greatful that his unemployment was short lived. So many people in his position have been unemployed for months with no prospects in sight. We are very blessed and I pray for the other unemployed people to be blessed, too. It's still going to be tough to get caught up on the bills but at least we have the chance to do that. Thank you Lord for the hard times that make us appreciate the good times.

Pondering

Lately I've been wondering how I ended up at the juncture in my life. I know, I know... all my decisions up until this point put me here but I am pondering why I made those decisions. I seem to have just made decisions and then pushed on to the next section of my life without really analyzing why I made those decisions. There were some circumstances that warranted quick decisions (not really an excuse for bad decisions). I know people say you shouldn't dwell on the past and just live in the present but... I think I need to review the past before I make more mistakes.
