HOPE Wanted: 20 Thoughts For 2010 Job Seekers
A while back, I wrote a blog post about words that annoy people and there are, by the comment count, a plethora of them! 🙂 Today, though, my thoughts turn to a word that I frequently heard in 2009, and continue to hear as 2010 gets going. The word is HOPE! H – O – P – E! I don’t know what HOPE means to you…listed below are a few thoughts I have regarding my HOPE for you this year.
~ I hope you will find what you are looking for…
~ I hope you will discover what matters most to you…
~ I hope you will look on the bright side of things, even in your darkest moments…
~ I hope you will appreciate all that you have more than what you don’t…
~ I hope you will stay in touch with your friends and family and contacts and let them know how you are doing, through the thick and thin of your starting over…
~ I hope you will be able to find a smile for the person who’s smiling at you…
