Play Pollyanna with me.
After taking off yesterday and being unable to even get out from under the covers.. (Yes.. living with depression sucks, catching a wave of hopelessness and fear sucks even more).. I got up today and looked around and realized it is not such a bad world afterall.
At the start of the year, I took some most excellent advice I found at trans_finance and when my car needed over 1500.00 in repairs in order to get legal, I was able to take care of it without using credit and then going on into my usual financial hole. There is some really good information out there, right in our own communities, people who know things and are eager to share them. I have been overly stressed at work after getting a promotion, but last week I was tasked with interviewing and yeah or naying a new hire to work with me. I was the final say! It all hinged on his ability to work with me.. And that was pretty cool and affirming. And now this weekend I am celebrating life by cleaning out my sons room while he is gone for the weekend, throwing away his five year old unders and buying him a complete new wardrobe of unders, undershirts and socks. Having all his shirts and khakis dry cleaned to celebrate his impending graduation from college (in May) and his being offered and accepting a job making more than I can even ever conceive of making. Ever. Seriously. Not kidding. Well, he will need to hire the nurse to wipe my azz when I am old and drooling.
So. Play Pollyanna with me. What's going good in YOUR life today?
