What is the difference between a job and a paycheck? :
Job – A job is a place where you go to do something for someone else and they pay you to follow their rules.
Paycheck – Is money you get from working at a job.
That was an easy answer to that question, but then again it was just the basic answer. Most people would take the first answer and go onto another question, not looking back, or giving it a second thought.
The problem with that kind of thinking is, âWhat if there was more,â you would never know if you didnât look past the first step. When you were in school the teacher would ask what your career choice would be and give you ideas on how to set that dream free (if you get lucky enough to get a teacher who actually cared).
A job could be more than just working at a retail or grocery store? If you like what you are doing then your job is worth going to everyday. It is the same if you went into a career of your choice.
Now a paycheck is just that, money from a job, and nothing special. A person who is living paycheck to paycheck may just be getting by and Not living their BEST LIFE.
So, let me ask my question again. What is a job and a paycheck to you? For me my job is just a job just for the paycheck, until I can turn my craft into my real job âOne Dayâ.
I may not be an expert on Anime, but I do enjoy watching a good story. There are a lot of stories I will not look at, (some are either too bloody or go against my beliefs) but there are countless stories to choose from.
I decided I wasnât going to just drop a random post every now and then. It is beyond time to redo my blog and get organized.
Now donât get me wrong www.3amThunderofWords.com was created to write down an idea, to share a laugh or two, and show off whatever crochet project I was working on. It is time to step up my game and how else can I do that, unless I take that 1st stepâŚâŚ
Then again I am NOT going to change everything, because that wouldnât be cool. I am adding two extra pages (the other one will be me being creative with my hands or talking about crochet, cross stitch, and maybe a book). This will help me stay focused on that subject and maybe help everyone read what they are more interested in and cut out useless words.
I have also stopped trying to write a book, because that is something totally different. The difference between a book and a blog post is night & day. At least it is IV me…
When you pick up a book you are already prepared to be reading that story for a while. Whereas a blog post could be long, not at long as a book, and you get its point.
I will NOT stop typing until my point gets across or until I am happy with its ending. After all, what is the point of keeping a run on sentence going just, because others have more words. ** Sorry I got turned around, because I stopped talking about animeâŚ.
I sprained my ankle last week. I was determined to go to work and ignore that pain. I know the doctor said she should be off my feet for a week, and iced for at least 10 hours per day (because I couldnât afford to get a cast). Family and friends told me the same thing.
I understood they care about me, but no one was going to be paying my bills. You can pray I heal and give me encouraging words, but my landlord isnât going to care about any of those things. I took the pain pills, and got off of my feet as soon as I got home.
When I awoke the next day:
Pain : You thought you were going to get your way this time, âNo Maâamâ.
Me : I havenât let you have your way before and today isnât any different.
Pain : Okay, let me see you stand up without your cane.
Me : It’s already 6am and I donât have time for your pain. So, âPain GO AWAYâ!
Okay, I am an out of shape hard headed hard work woman, and I know when to stand down or sit down in this case. I called my job early to give them a heads up that I was going to be out of work for 6 days.
That first day was hard, but I wasnât going to feel sorry for myself. I completed my blue & orange project, cleared out my email (some), and watched so many videos to help get my site working correctly. I got one part, but I AM NOT GIVING UP ON IT..
The second day, I kept on telling myself one more step, stretch for one more minute, and although that pain hasnât gone away completely. It only comes back at the end of my work day.
That pain may have won a few days ago, but I havenât stopped stretching or rest as much as I can:
Me : Pain you got a hold of me for a short time, but I already said itâŚ
Pain : I am still here and Iâm not going anywhereâŚ
Me : You keep telling yourself that, because I am Not Listening to youâŚ.
The words I said were true and as I stayed home resting. I took notice of how many people knew I was hurt and how many people reached out with kind words. Not surprised there were less than a handful.
When I get to work I hear, âOh I meant to call you, because it wasnât like you to miss any day.â I just smiled and kept doing what I was supposed to do. Every now and then they would come over to see what happened, but had to leave quickly when someone noticed them out of their work area.
Pain can be physical or mental. I will Never let pain stop me from doing what I have to do to survive, or being a better me. I know I have to stop working paycheck to paycheck, because there is no way I can save. I want to start enjoying my life and working for a dead end job isnât going to work.
I am also going to keep true family and friends close as I move past my here and now and speak to others as I keep it moving. I am going to end this with a question? Are you going to let go of your pain?
Ever get stuck doing the same thing over and over? Like that movie where Bill Murray started the same day over and over, I wish I could remember the title of that movie. I guess I can Google it, but my mind has moved on to why I am writing (typing).
I have been spending most of my time crocheting and enjoying my spare time and that time wasnât wasted. Now that time has moved on, I have to get back to work. I am smiling, because todayâs job is reading about crochet.
The best job you can do is work on something you have the most passion and crochet is one of mine. At one time I thought I could do a book review, because I love reading books. Then I realized I could combine both reading and crocheting. I am going to read about people who are into craft from crocheting, cross stitch, painting and the list can go on and on. A Review on Crafty Ideas and WorksâŚ.
The title â10 Inspiring Crochet Blogs with Cool Patternsâ says it all. If you want to learn how to crochet, learn more behind the craft, and different brands of yarn this was so Great to read each story.
I wanted to add #7 Yarnspirations, because one part talks about what yarnspirations is about how they help with ideas and there was a highlighted part where it goes in detail about the yarn.
So much information and inspiration not just to learn a new pattern, but learn about the different kinds of yarn one can use with each new projectâŚ
I give this a 10 Crochet Hook⌠Whereas you would give 10 stars..â
10 Crochet Hooks are way better in the crochet worldâŚ.
My name is Lisa D. I enjoy turning yarn, thread, and words into something NeW. Whenever I have an idea and I want to turn it into reality I find a way to do just that and âKrochet~Cafeâ is a way for me to gather my Thoughts & Creativity to set these Dreams Free.
Itâs Time to have some FuN!!
This was my website http://www.krochetcafe.com, (and yes it is still up until Sep’ 1st) but I am letting it go. I realized I was talking (typing) here on my blog (and trying to get it better) more so I am going to be me here at ‘3am Thunder of Words’ just like thunder you may Never know where it may go. At least I am hoping to get a Smile or Two…
Well I am working on a ‘yellow project,’ and like to calm down a little. I just liked the colors and then someone made fun of them, because “Why are you making the Lakers colors?” was said to me. I had to laugh, because if you know me – then you know I am NOT a Sport kind of girl.
I crochet for a lot of reasons:
I find some colors that I like –
Someone ask me to make something from their choice of colors –
Someone give me their yarn, because they have giving up on working with them –
or I am just working on leftover yarn.
Which is what I am doing right now, but its all good. I found a new pattern and I am having fun…
