Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find   36  work and I found this especially difficult as I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree.

To my   37   I was driving a school bus to   38   my family. I had been through five   39   with a company and one day they   40   to say I did not get the job. I went to the bus barn, feeling   41  .

Later that afternoon,   42   doing my rounds through a quiet suburban neighborhood I had an inner wave   43   from deep inside me and I thought “Why has my   44   become so hard?” “Give me a sign, I asked, a physical sign, not some inner   45   type of thing.”

Immediately after this internal（内心的） scream I   46   the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she   47   she handed me an earring saying I should keep it   48   somebody looked for it. The   49   was stamped metal, painted black and said “BE HAPPY”. Then it struck me. I had been putting all of my   50   into what was wrong with my life   51   than what was right! 

One night there was a phone call for me from the   52   at a large hospital. She asked me whether I   53   do a report for 200 hospital workers. I said   54   and got the job.

My day with the hospital workers   55   very well. I got a great welcome and many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude.
