My partner made a joke last night that got me good. Don't even remember what it was now, doesn't matter. But it was funny

I’ve been unemployed for about half a year looking for jobs, really any kind of paying work, and I was nearing the point of no return with all the negative things I was telling myself. I wasn’t even being all that picky with my search criteria but I saw an opening for a nearby space aeronautical company and I applied (it’s not that glamorous of a position).
And just yesterday I got an offer for the job — this being a career field that’s always been a dream of mine to be a part of, and I can now tell people that I work on rockets and sending them to space!
Exciting job opportunity aside, I’m happy and thankful just for the fact that this moment has by no exaggeration saved my life. More than just the paychecks, it feels like being told I’m not totally useless and I’m wanted, needed even, by society.

You are not your job, and your worth is not dependent on your economic output.
Took me decades to internalize this and I still occasionally struggle with it. But it's good advice all the same.

True and I agree that we aren’t our jobs. I’m much more than a space guy.
But it still hurts getting rejected several dozen times in a row.

I went for a walk in the Black Forest. It's impossible not to be cheerful when you're hiking in the Black Forest, even when you trip and end up with two busted knees.

Words of admiration from friends about a long term accomplishment.
Hearing my partner's stories about her recent trip.

I'm incredibly grateful that my oldest cat Terra is still with us. She's currently palliative because of metastasized cancer in her right paw and there's nothing the vets can do. But she was originally estimated to have days to weeks, and that was over three months ago and she's still here and fighting. I'm just so glad for every extra day I get with her.
