Basically, this is a 12 page list of affirmations, reminders and ideas about finding joy in unemployment, whether wanted or not. The entire list isn’t “mine,” but I’m going to take the ones that are and add my own in the spots that aren’t. This made me smile, and in days I go into my “comparison closet” I’ll use this to help me write my own and record my gratitude instead of grumbles!
