One Thing, Every Day – Week One

Here’s the follow-up I promised in my post “Making Something of … Every Day.”

M2aDay 1 – I received a solid lead on a new job opening, for a position that I’m well suited for (if I do say so myself), so I crafted a fabulous cover letter, attached my resume, and tossed my hat in the ring.

Day 2 – I created two more items for the Making Something of It craft booth in southern Illinois (one is pictured here)

Day 3 – I researched and applied for an Income Based Reduction for my student loans. I don’t want to count my chickens, but there’s a good chance for a substantial change in our monthly payment. It will be 7-10 days before I know for certain, so I’ll say more if/when this hatches.

Day 4 – I called AT&T to question our most recent bill, which was higher than we anticipated, following a change to our cell phone plan. In the end, the customer service person credited our account $58 (not bad for 20 minutes of work).

Day 5 – My husband got a new job! It’s part-time, with the potential for more, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed he likes it and they like him.

Day 6 – I worked on a freelance editing project and got a response to a part-time job I applied for, inviting me to interview with them on March 11.

Day 7 – I gave myself the day off, with the exception of writing this post, which I’m hoping will both inspire and keep me accountable for a second week of “one thing, every day.”

    Day 7 – The Sabbath day shall be a day of rest. What makes you (us) think this only applies to others? Personally, I’m codependent as hell. If you’ve never read it, “Codependent No More” by Melodie Beattie is eye-opening.

    I’d recommend you keep some creative activity in there (as per Day 2) on a regular basis, as it helps to balance the destructive influence of stress and worry. Waiting for replies, hitting brick walls, relying on the cooperation of others, and moving forward (?) on someone else’s schedule can leave us feeling helpless, frustrated, and powerless. Doing something creative allows the Holy Spirit to reaffirm our ability to be an agent of creation.
