0 Find the good in job-search, in a move, in everything

Are you being as positive as you can be?  It makes a difference; in your job-search, in your personal and business relationships, in your health, in your life.


McCrabby moved in November/2011.  He never thought he'd do it, he didn't want to do it, but it became difficult to stay, so he and Mrs. M sold their home, and moved (Click to read the initial post on this:  THE MOVE).


Now, it's been six months, and an update is in order.


There are some things that are not as positive as they were in the previous location, and there are (thankfully) some things that are much better.


Some things that are missed, include McCrabby's son and a large group of friends, from the past 20+ years that are now 110 miles away, McCrabby's church (also 110 miles away), the McCrabby house, a beautiful colonial, with lots of room, warmth, and perfect for holiday decorations (the current home is about 40 per cent of the size of the previous home).  But, family and friends make the effort, and are worth the effort, so that part is working out.

Stop in -- 20 Division St., Coldwater, MI

So McCrabby, what are the positives, you ask?

• Both McCrabby and Mrs. M have a father and a sister living in Coldwater, and it's nice to be close to family
• The McCrabbys live in town and can get to ANY thing in town in 4 1/2 minutes - he often rides a bike to work
• There is a downtown area, and it's nice to go downtown; and McCrabby has an office in the middle of town
• Real estate taxes went from $6,000/year to $800/year
• McCrabby has found a couple of good racquetball partners
• Even with business trips to Detroit, and family trips to Grand Rapids, the miles McCrabby drives has been cut in half
• Mrs. M is here

In all, McCrabby and Mrs. M did what they needed to do to be fiscally responsible (don't you wish Washington would do that??).  And, the message that we wanted to share is that you can make the best of any situation; find the positives, and make it work for you.  


Many people don't have the income they once had, but "rich" is a state of mind.  McCrabby is feeling a little rich today.  

You can decide to be positive in a job-search, with cost-cutting measures, with a new job or a new relationship, or with almost anything in life. 

Find the good in things.  Get rich. 

Does that dog in the video have on sunglasses??

Good luck to everyone on their job searches and in life...
  

How 'bout following us on Twitter, or signing up here..    We'd love to see you and we're trying to get to a couple hundred (not sure why, but it would make us feel better)..

Don't forget to sign up on the left or here (where it says "join this site") so we can see your picture on this site.  And follow us on twitter (@curtmacrae), where we don't post much, but we'd love to see you there.  McCrabby has gotten hacked twice on Facebook, so we have left that site for good.  Sorry...
