Mettle Mission :: Day Sixty

in

I picked this quote today for the simple fact that it contains the words 'a paved road' and I am hitting said paved road.

Although I will admit here that my trip might get delayed because I had a 'not-so-adult-moment' yesterday late afternoon where I realized my vehicle registration and safety inspection had expired and figure I should take care of that before hitting the road.....my bad.

Until I get a job there will be a daily Mettle Maker - we're on a mission - a mission to get a job and maintain mettle - so we'll call it the Mettle Mission.

Mettle Mission :: Day Fifty Nine

in

This past week was my hardest week.  Particularly Friday.  I cried a lot (and got super emo on social media....my bad...).

Then I got a text message from a cousin.  This cousin and I don't stay in super good touch.  He works out in the freakin' boondocks of Alberta, Canada and has a lifestyle that is similar to mine.  He does a few weeks on and off from his home in British Columbia.  Anyways, I hadn't told him that I'd lost my ship.  Because he knows (and relates better than others) his first question was, 'how long have you been home?' I answered, '120 days' he quickly responded with, 'do you need some cash?'.  

You guys.  I cried (okay fine, I had been crying all day anyways...but still...).

Not too long later (that same day), Girl Cousin (who I keep in touch with a lot) sent me a text, 'whats with all the crying?'.  She had seen my super emo social media moment.  Then she talked me off the proverbial ledge offering me moral support from afar and cheering me on.

Here's where I'm going with this.  You don't know who's got your back until you need someone to get your back.  (just fyi, typing that made me cry...)

My family's got my back - and it feels pretty awesome.

How's that for a mettle maker?!  In my book, it's the best kind of mettle maker.

I made some bold moves this week.  I'll write a post all about it but, in the meantime this quote is what I'm channeling.  I fell into an Alice Walker pit on Pinterest.  I love her.

There could not have been a better Mettle Maker out there for me today than this one.  I procrastinated getting the Mettle Maker put together until late this morning - and then I found the perfect one.  I'm considering this a sign of good things to come!  xoxo,  Megan

Everyone knows I'm not into Pirates and I'm especially not into the commercialization and romanticizing of Pirates but, I have to admit that Captain Jack Sparrow might be right.
