Losing my job......tough, yet managable

Due to the merger of the two banks that now make up the organization that I work for currently, the decision makers made a determination (in their infinite wisdom) to close 14 locations in the great state of New Jersey. Of course, the one I manage was one of those.

I have always been an optomist. The glass half full, yadda yadda. So, therefore, I view this not as the end, but as the beginning of a new career for me. Luckily, I have many more skills-ones that are currently untapped in my banking career--that I can fall back on. Ones that I most certainly will use to my advantage to gain a rewarding and financially fulfilling career path, such as writing a novel or opening up a music academy.

As one door inevitably closes in life, another opens. A wise man once told me this: if we look too long at the door that has been closed, we do not notice the other one open. This too shall pass.
