A frest start to a fresh start.

Some time ago I had an idea for a blog. It was to create a place where I could list all the things that had made me happy that day. Such as how beautiful the mountains were looking, or what cute thing my little guy had done or said. But then something happened. Something as in nothing. I realised that, when I'm happy, the last thing I want to do is sit down on a computer and write about it.

It seems that, in reality, we get much more satisfaction from sharing our frustrations and worries, than our joy. That its easier to write a love song after a break-up than a hook up. So, in an attempt to avoid continuing with a blank blog page, I am going to use this space to share my experiences as someone on the outside, trying to get in.

On the outside. Unemployed.

I know I'm not alone in this journey. With the current economy, a lot of others have been left on the outside - probably, like me, spending their days hanging on to the idea that our big break could be just around the corner. Hopefully it is; and this blog will have a happy ending and I can go back to writers block....
