Back to work diaries #006 - A reflection.

This year I made a resolution to get a job and keep it. The "Back to work diaries" will accompany me on that journey.
A scary, but exciting time ahead is waiting for me, where I'll be confronting all those fears, phobias and misconceptions and facing them head on..

I wanted to apologise for the last post I wrote - the Back to work diaries #005 - Square peg in a Round Hole?
When I read it back, I thought, My God..this is so negative..I shouldn't have published it.. 
I make a point of keeping my blog as positive as I can, and given the subject matter it's not always easy, but I think I've done quite a good job!

When I reviewed this diary entry a few days later, I felt I looked like a spoilt brat going in to a strop or something! I was just about to press the delete button when something stopped me.

When I write a blog post, a great deal of time and effort goes in to each post. Sometimes a post can take months and several drafts, or a complete overhaul in some cases. But the Back to work diaries are different from my other posts. They are exactly what they say they are - diaries. These posts are not crafted. I write them down just as they come into my head. They chart my journey back to employment and all the highs and lows that come with this.

In the end I decided not to scrap my post. Yeah, it's not the most positive entry in the history of blogging, but it's how I was feeling on the day...
