I have recently joined the ranks of the unemployed and couldn’t resist talking about it.
Understandably, being unemployed can be scary. Most people want to hide under the covers and cry. I say, “Bring it on…new opportunities await!”
I have my moments of worry but for me being unemployed is an opportunity to reconnect with people, work on personal projects and share some of life’s little enjoyments…all while searching for the next job.
One of the most surprising little enjoyments I discovered was making a few calls to save money on my monthly bills. Granted, not as exotic as finding a café with panini and tiramisu that transport you to Italy with one mouthwatering bite but definitely a tip worth sharing. 
Who wouldn’t enjoy saving money on monthly telephone, cable and garage expenses? I did a dance.
This tip may not be for everyone but if you have the motivation and time to make a few phone calls you may also find yourself doing a dance with a little extra cash in your pocket.
Smile and enjoy!

I followed Leslie’s lead and called my utility and phone service providers. My phone company gave me a $15 discount for 3 months since I have been a “good customer.” You never know until you ask, thanks Les!
You know…this blog makes me very hungry!
