Opportunities

Ahhh let me see, what shall I be grateful for today? Well, yesterday we went over to some new friends place for drinks, their son is friends with Zoe at school. Anyway, we got talking and they realized how much I love cooking and offered me the opportunity of a job on Friday nights cooking for a crowd of around 30 or so(appparantly there is great demand for a two course dinner (with choice of two mains) for Friday nights at the golf club. Unfortunately it's not that easy and me working full time at school makes it even harder. This morning I was madly looking through my cookbooks to search for home style meal ideas, it's doing my head in, I haven't stopped thinking of how I could make it work without jeopardizing my commitments to work as a teacher and to home life. How was I to prepare everything on getting there Friday afternoons in time for a 6.30 sit down meal? I'll need to find out a lot more about it before I make any decisions or even set a menu. So today I am grateful for opportunities that come my way, whether I take them up or not, I will endeavor to make the ones I do want work to my advantage, and I'll toss the ones I don't want away and forget about them or use them as a learning experience. As they say, you can't succeed without trying, and failing to plan is a plan to fail. Oh no does that mean I should take up this opportunity and try at the least to make it work? Ahhh, now I've gone and confused myself all over again! Better find out more about this great opportunity before I go mad. Steph
