    I NEED SKILLS
    I need to be patient and proactively positive in finding the right job. I’ve been unemployed for over a year now so it’s really making me feel horrible about myself and my skills.

    There are a lot of things I wish I were skilled in…. like putting together color schemes for fabulous indoor decorating. I also wish I were better all around at just fixing things. When it comes to home projects, both hubby and I can be pretty clueless. We’re learning though!
