I never know who if anyone actually reads my posts, but I do feel weird when I don’t update every so often. It’s nice to go back and look at my thoughts years ago and have it all documented here. Where to start?
So, last I wrote I was actually working for WGN radio. It’s a powerhouse station here in Chicago, but it can be heard all over the Midwest and world, if you have access to streaming. I feel badly because I didn’t actually stay there a year, but I knew my future was not going to be there. Thing about me is, I can’t work myself into a routine. I’m very fickle that way and I need to be doing something different and challenging to keep my attention. While I did learn a lot there, I soon felt like a robot, going through my motions, but not thinking things through. Even though I did express to management that I was ready for more, because of WGN and Tribune were going through bankruptcy, money was tight and the future of the company wasn’t certain. Understandably so, but to me that meant I can stick it out for a few more years or move on and I went for the latter. At the going away party we had, I grew close with a few people. With drinks it allows you to see a different side of people that I never saw before, so my leaving was bitter sweet. WGN was such a wonderful place full of wonderful people and there are a lot of people there that I will continue to keep a relationship with.
Things are really coming together for me and I couldn’t be more thankful! My friend and I were talking and she said, “Everything always works out for you”. While I wish that was true, I just think I am truly blessed and when things do not work out, I do not let them get me down. It wasn’t in my plan and there is something better waiting for me. It’s my mantra. Unfortunate things do happen of course, but if we as humans have no control over it, there isn’t a reason to stress or get down. Must take things in stride and accept them as learning experiences. We shall see how long this positivity lasts, but it’s served me well for 25 years.
