Seeing the Light at the End of the Tunnel

My husband was a wonderful supporter of mine. He suggested I work at a thrift store about 20 years ago. They were short a worker the day I applied, so I went right to work. They had me hanging clothes, straightening shoes and helping customers. They hired me at the end of the day! 

Six months later, I was co-manager of the store. I didn't displace anyone, I just followed my natural instincts.  I was made manager of a new store  soon and took my best workers with me.  I did not stay with the company. Sadly it didn't work out, as my husband became ill. I still see what my husband saw in me...HE saw potential...

If I could get that across in computer application, that would be great! I have struggled with this my whole life. The dialogue going on in my head is usually not too good. I always find myself thinking about how I really don't want to tackle the task. However, it usually goes well when I am proactive about these situations. I then welcome it as a learning experience for the next time I encounter that situation.

Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is always effective. I look ahead to more pleasant and fun events after dealing with what I thought was scary or unpleasant.
