i had an entirely different post planned, as i had a really annoying and challenging day in oh so many ways. i was very cranky. and i had an appointment scheduled to practice the theta healing. and i thought, well, you know, if i was (when i am!) doing this professionally, i'd (i will!) just have to find a way to get myself into the right headspace and do it, i couldn't just cancel or reschedule on account of being grumpy, you know? so i gathered myself together and did it.
and when i finished that appointment, i thought, i feel pretty damn fine. and it became so clear why i really want to make this work as a new career, or at least as part of whatever the next phase is. because, not only do i get to help other people to feel better, but in the process, i get to feel pretty damn good, too. it's astonishing to me to do work that shifts my mood and energy in such a positive direction merely by doing what i'm supposed to be doing for someone else. *shakes head in disbelief*
so good things!
1) theta healing, self and others.
2) f-list - thank you guys so much for being so supportive and commiserating when i was feeling blue. you guys! *blows kisses at you all*
3) extra kisses for
talesofsnape , who made me a banner for the werewolf, the auror, and the potions master. *beams*
4) nice hr person from my old job who helped me navigate the insurance company's website to find list of possible new dentists who take my insurance. (oh, wait - that was part of the moany post - i have a craptastic toothache and am still navigating the trials and tribulations of the insurance company vis-a-vis cobra extended coverage. but now i have to / get to take the weekend off and resume hoop-jumping on monday.) and i have to say, theta healing again, because i think that's why i've got the toothache under control at the moment.
5) everything else. lol. okay, i'll pick one. how about the 5 for five community, which has spurred me to keep writing faithfully, so now my ss/hg wip is clocking in at over 33,000 words and may actually be finished one day. whether or not it will be any good has yet to be determined. ;)
6) going to add another - i'm grateful for the loss of my job forcing me to reinvent myself whether i wanted to or not, and i'm grateful that i'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do with myself without that job to go to.
*hugs* if you want them.
