Day #14 of the 60 Days of Gratitude Challenge

This is Day #14 of 60 Days of Gratitude Challenge

The prompt is What rejection are you grateful for or name a rejection you are grateful for. (It was most grateful for - but it's hard enough as it is.)

I don't know. I try not to remember the rejections. Also there's been a lot of them. I survived, obviously, and moved on. Rejection - I've learned has very little to do with me - and a lot to do with the person doing the rejecting. It's not personal.

I suppose I'm grateful that I didn't get those law jobs I applied for in Missouri and Iowa. I'd have been miserable in them.

Yep, sounds like the job I didn't get in Iowa. It was a lawyer for a meat packing plant, defending and assessing injury claims for the company throughout Kansas and Iowa meat packing plants. I'm much happier in New York City. I'd have been miserable living in Iowa or Nebraska (was on the border) and driving to and from plants. Ugh.
