In the last month, I have moved to another state, enrolled my daughter in school, and started a new job. None of these things would have been my preference, but sometimes you have to persevere and make the best of your situation. My daughter enjoys school so far and seems to be adjusting well, and I like my new job and am settling into new routines. Would I rather still be a stay-at-homeschooling Mom? Yes, and one day maybe that will be an option for us once again. In the meantime, I will continue to move forward, persevere, and take advantage of new opportunities instead of lamenting what I don't have any longer. .-= Shauna´s last blog ..<a href="http://treasureseekers.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/a-new-routine/" rel="nofollow">a new routine</a> =-.

Everytime I get offered a job, I get made redundant before a year is up, and my search continues. Either that or I land myself with a control freak manager, and the search continues again. Aaarggh! But I persevere. My previous manager had told me that in times of redundancies, it is my perserverance and continious encouragement to my colleagues in the same boat that keeps the team's spirit up - seeing that I have been continously been at the edge of being jobless, it doesn't faze me anymore! ps: RT-ed this on twitter as well! hooray!

My sister is not related to me by blood, or even adopted. She was just a medical foster child from Haiti who did have a family back home who loved her, but she had to leave them to come to the U.S. and get treatment for her scoliosis. Her spine was curved to the degree of some of the worst cases recorded. She faced a lot of hardships in her quest for medical care so she could return home. She was originally staying with a family in Oregon when not long before she was supposed to enter the hospital, the doctor who offered her care for free quit. She then came to live with us, where she underwent several unsuccessful treatments (including having a steel ring bolted into her skull) from doctors unwilling to do the risky spinal surgery. She struggled with depression from being separated from her real family, but stood strong through it all, doing whatever the doctors told her she had to do to get better. She returned to Haiti post-operation with a perfectly straight back almost four years ago now. Her and her family and even their house also survived the earthquake, by the by. : ) I’ve seen so much perseverance in my life (most recently in my many attempts to spell perseverance correctly for this comment), but when I saw this I immediately thought of my older sister.

I was babysitting my little cousin, who is about three years old. I decided to teach her how to draw one of those hand trace turkeys. The first time I did it, she watched pretty carefully, and when I let her try, she only drew around one finger before she decided she was done. She was unhappy that it didn't look like mine. So we repeated the process a few times until she finally drew what resembled a really fat hand turkey (since she traced pretty far around her fingers). I asked her where the mouth and the feathers were, and she drew them in the right places! She was so proud of herself. I was pretty proud too. It's hard to teach kids how to try again if they mess up, and some of us can't seem to grasp the concept later in life, but if we keep trying, we can all succeed in what we're trying to do! I'm also going to Tweet about this contest under my Twitter name, SammiGene to get a bonus entry. :) I have a story of perseverance that happened just this past weekend.

Perserverence... my daughter is slowly learning this. I remember as a kindergartner, she was struggling with properly writing the letter "d" using the corrcet sequence of strokes. We worked on it in the morning and were both beginning to feel frustrated when I realized I needed to rush off to a ministry meeting at church. I left her with her grandmother and told her we'd try again tomorrow. I returned from my lunch meeting and errand running time in the afternoon and saw that she had been working on her own, writing out "d's" on her magnadoodle toy. And they looked great! I asked her if she asked grandma to help and she said no. I was so proud of the fact that she took initiative on her own and didn't give up. She later applied this to teaching herself how to use chopsticks. Sarah, I love your giveaways, especially how you tie each one to some bigger theme.
