Watercolor and Gouache Rose Brooch Design by Joana Miranda
Sometimes amid all of the stresses of my life, I forget how truly blessed I am. I have
- my health
- a husband who can’t get out of bed each day unless he “spoons” around me for at least 15 minutes
- a wonderfully supportive and loving family
- great friends who cheer me on
- a drive to create beauty around me
AND…
- a sense of humor
Speaking of sense of humor, even though I’ve often sometimes felt like my NY job search has been an exercise in futility extreme patience, even there I’m grateful for the little gifts that come my way. Take for example the “bloopers” I’ve come across in job postings. These have added some much needed levity to my days; in fact, I’ve even started to compile a list of the best ones. These “gems”, taken from jewelry job, as well as from creative job listings, are among my favorites:
WANTED –
“Newborn Photographer”
♦
“Now Hiring Music Teachers”
(“Teaching experience a HUGE plus!”)
♦
“Jew Administrator”
Remember…
“A man isn’t poor if he can still laugh.”
(Raymond Hitchcock)
“Laughter is an instant vacation.”
(Milton Berle)
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. “
(e.e. cummings)
