BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS

Sometimes receiving bad news can actually be good news. How is that possible? I got a call on Sunday from my daughter, Leanna. She called to tell me she had been let go from yet another job. Apparently, they want the job done a certain way, don't tell you what that way is and then fire you because you're not doing it the "right" way. I don't think I would want to work there anyway. So that's the bad news.

The good news (at least to me) is that Leanna is applying for jobs in Minnesota again. As of Monday, she had applied for 5 jobs all in the Twin Cities area. This is good news to my ears but I know she has mixed feelings about it.

Leanna and Stacy talked quite a bit yesterday and came to a decision to continue on the path she was taking and hope it led them to where they are suppose to be at this time in their lives. This may mean living apart for maybe a year, but Leanna figures, if Jenny can do it, so can she. It makes my heart happy she is looking here in MN, but I also don't want to get my hopes up. I did that last time and it didn't pan out. Now, I just want her to be able to work, pay bills, have fun with her kids, and all the other stuff that makes for a happily ever after.

Bad news can sometimes be good. In this case, it is definitely good for me and maybe just "so-so" for Leanna.
