Dinner for One

Dinner for One

As I sit here today. Recently, many thoughts have gone through my mind. I have been on the line (or for others working as a Flight Attendant) for two months now. Going on my third month. How rewarding this job is. But how hard and lonely it gets. Daily I am able to interact with many passengers and coworkers. I choose how I react to them. My goal is to be humble and loving towards each person, I come in contact with. 

As I sat over dinner recently in Las Vegas. I looked at my dinner and snapped a picture. This is my reality sometimes. You serve all day and work. Which I love. My job has given me more opportunity than I could imagine. But the downside of this job is you sleep in hotels from 2-5 nights a week. You are away from family. Its hard to build community where you live. And you feel lonely a lot of the time. 

Throughout this journey, I have had to rely on God so much more here recently. Which is a good thing. I've needed to be challenged in a way that will grow me. But doesn't mean it comes easy. Its a daily choice and a choice I sometimes have to make many times in the day. 

Getting out of my comfort zone is hard also. But being in South Florida, I am making the best of it. I love my times on the beach and running the beach. I love when I get to see my other Flight Attendant friends from training. Its refreshing. So I do find the good in the craziness.

I wanted to share that this job is rewarding and amazing. I wouldn't trade it for an 8-5 job ever. But its becomes very lonely at time. So when you see the luxurious job and travels. Remember it can be a lonely job also. But the good thing is that this job is teaching me to trust in God more than ever. I am having to lean on Him for my daily strength. 

When you see my fun posts on where I am, enjoy it. But don't be envious of this job. Enjoy where you are. That's what I do each day. Even when its more challenging than other days. 

Live for Today!
