I have no other way to describe my mood. I had a tough work day today, but there are two things that happened to me today that have put me in good spirits.
First, when I woke up this morning, I felt refreshed. Refreshed in the way that I’ve not felt in a very long time. For the first time in a very long time, I didn’t check my calendar to figure out when I could squeeze in a nap during the day. This process has been going on for years. FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, I DID NOT do this. This, my friends, is the beginning of a new habit. One that I want to keep. I am so tired of feeling exhausted, and for the first time in a long time I didn’t feel exhausted. It goes me hope that things can/will be different very soon. It has invigorated me, inspired me to make the best effort possible to have more of these kinds of days.
Second, when I got home from work, I had a care package from my nieces waiting for me. I opened it hungerly. Below are the pictures that I can share. How can you NOT love me? I’m gorgeous (a bit cross-eyed but my good energy/spirit will help overcome that). At the end of the day, My cats and I are SO LOVED and ADORED.
This has me thinking very seriously about moving to Utah. The loves of my life are in Utah. Why am I not in Utah, soaking up more of this love on a daily/weekly basis?
My niece Mayonaise drew these for me. She is super talented… her mind is imaginative, playful. She is such a special girl. I love her to the ends fo the earth. I do have an amazing relationship with my niece AbFab and her daughters.. Here is how it is best described:
Yes, you do see my raising the roof with my hands. Oh Yeah! I’ve got nothing in CA except a job that causes me stress and consternations every day. What if I could leave all this, work in Utah, and be close to the people I care most about? I’m thinking hard right now… feel free to share your pearls of wisdom.
