Recently, I have been spending my time scraping paint off of the walls at the McCartney Motel(Mallory, Samantha, and Lynn's place) which provides a great deal of time for me to spend to myself and concentrate on more important things in life. I have also started reading more books and am spending more time with friends. Although, I have realized that while friends are good company, in order to achieve our goals we all need to have the same goals and keep each other motivated. Much of my motivation recently has come from Samantha, who has inspired me to do the "Couch to 5k" program with her. Why she goes to such lengths for me I sometimes don't understand, but I guess it's just hard to believe that someone could love me so much sometimes. Samantha insisted on buying me new shoes for the program, which we got yesterday. I could have completed the program with my old shoes, but according to her they reminded her too much of my father. What that means... I do not know. Not only has Samantha inspired me to join in this effort to run a 5k, but she also reminds me to read my Bible and continue in my job hunt.
Although, the job hunt has so far been unsuccessful, I have begun to consider what it is that God wants for me in my pursuit of a career. Recently, I have considered even looking into starting my own business by providing lawn services, indoor services and car washing for people in the local area. Hopefully, after I do more research, I will be able to launch this business and succeed in keeping it afloat. I ask that you all pray for me not only in my job search, but also for my consideration in starting this business and that I can succeed in it. In saying this, if you have any work that needs to be done around the house, please contact me. I will post my contact information at the bottom of this post. With all the things I have been through in the past few months I cannot do anything but be grateful for those who have and continue to support me. So, here comes the business pitch. I can do pretty much any outside work with no supervision. Whether it be cleaning gutters, blowing off a roof, washing a car, mowing a lawn or even edging a sidewalk. I'm your man. I can also pressure wash, but I do not have nearly as much experience in this category. When it comes to indoors, I can do pretty much anything with the exception of tiling floors. I pride myself on the quality of my work so I can assure you I will do my best. So if you need anything done or know of anyone who wants work done but doesn't want to do it, give them my info. When contacted I will try and arrange a time to come over and offer a free estimate and maybe we can work out a price and time to take on the project. You may call me, but if you're number is outside of the Tallahassee area, you may need to leave a voice mail due to me receiving some unwanted calls from outside of Florida. You may also text, e-mail, or send me a message on Facebook. I also encourage you all to take some time each day to just stop and think about things in your life. Where you are going, what you are doing and what is holding you back. Is that TV show you are addicted to so important that you can't stop it to do the clean the house or even wash the dishes? Or better yet, is being interrupted by friends while watching that show enough to get angry over? If so, try grabbing a book instead, the quiet that comes from reading is so much more enjoyable and you can extend your vocabulary and learn more if you are reading from categories other than fiction. Thank you so much again for your time and please continue to keep me and my goals in your prayers.

It must be "that time" because I've found myself getting emotional over this post.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mentioned the shoes, but it's not the shoes that remind me OF your father, they remind me of shoes your father would WEAR. Or any father, for that matter. Remember the show we watched in Orlando with the skate park (Rob and Big....Ridiculousness...something like that)? Looking like a 75 year old from the neck up and a 16 year old from the neck down? That's how I feel about your shoes. It's all about style, baby! Aside from sweet kicks, you needed shoes that would support you, especially if you're going to be training. Your sneakers were ready for retirement :P

I'm so appreciative that you're being supportive of me and the run, whether or not you decide to come in December. Really, that's as much as I had hoped for.
Also, you should know that I'm so proud of you for keeping your head up with the job searching, despite how aggravating it can be. Your business needs a name. We should make flashy new flyers for your business and post them around town (I can post some at work!). Maybe even get some of those signs that you stick in the grass. I think this is a good start while you're figuring out which way you want your career to go. Your attention to detail will make you a hit, so I'm definitely enthused!
I love you, darling.
