  On Transitions urlLink In Mike Zellers's summary of his experiences from this past year , he says "I am and have been a very lucky person.
How many go from being laid off to their dream job (although a suprising number of people i've talked to have found being laid off as a blessing in disguise)? Overall, the net change in my life has clearly been positive over this time frame..." Aptly put. My thoughts exactly. I personally found the separation from my company as a blessing in disguise.
I was burned-out from a long drive and much time away from my family. Since that time, I've focused my job search closer to home, and I've spent a whole lot more time with my family. Not to mention, I don't feel as uptight - relieved is more like it.
