A Happy Day

Jun 06, 2007 01:42

It was pointed out to me, after practice this evening, that I was "happy". I realized they were right.

For the past couple of months, my constant and losing battle with depression has been non-existent. I made the decision to no longer have any goals. This doesn't mean I sit around or that I don't care. I keep relatively busy and I do care. I just ( Read more... )

A solid way of dealing with things.

Glad to have found your journal.

I have added you.

Thanks.

Good to see you hear. Seemed like quite a few people on LJ, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It's good to know you're finding ways of moving forward. Whether it be the here and now or through planning or goal setting, doesn't matter... each person is wired to work slightly (sometimes a lot) differently. You find what works for you and go with it!

Thanks. It's nice to have your support.

I'm glad you are in a state of mind that makes you happy. It's hard to get out of a "funk" but if you put your mind to it and have A LOT of patience, you can do it.

I suppose. I'm no therapist. ;)

Hey! Welcome to Livejournal! I like LJ so much more than MySpace.

It's nearly three weeks since you posted this. Are you still happy?

Except for when you block with your thumb...

I suppose I looked pretty pissed about that. I became frustrated and it got the better of me.

Am I still happy? hmm... I can't say, "Happy". I would say, "Content and acceptant." Work and my career are not going well; haven't for a while (like for years). But I accept that and have made some changes on how I do things to take more control over the situation. A larger change I have been researching is to start my own business for designing kitchens & baths. Another thought is to work at Lowe's. I understand their designers make decent money. I would have to accept the fact (I think) that I will not get hours that I would be happy with, though.

I have come to discover that I like feeling "in charge" of my life as well(thanks for helping!). Its empowering. I like my current life situation, but it could be a whole lot better. SO I look. I am setting up another interview today. One at a time. You never know til you find out. Thats how that goes.

hello, my friend! I wish we'd had more time to talk at Pennsic; there definitely were a few moments where I saw you and you looked unhappy; you have given me so much support in the past, I want to be able to return the favor.

Gaining life perspective isn't something I used to spend a whole lot of time on; then I got a whole lot in about 15 months. I'm glad you're finding what it is you need to do inside.

if you ever want to talk, you have my information. :)
