In happier news...
Hopefully, the crazy in my life is just giving it's last hurrah. Everything else is on the up swing- great job, great friends, great new clothes, an increasing bank account, real estate and stock prices finally improving (so my house, stocks, and mutual funds are increasing again), adorable pets, my art being recognized by people with connections, most of the difficult people that were previously in my life are going away, getting into awesome events for free, connecting with great local business people, working with a new charity every month... did I mention how cute my pets are? ^_^
I feel really lucky every day for the little things (like having food on the table, being able to breathe, living a life of ease when compared to millions of people in turmoil all over the world) and so the bigger things are the best, happy events in my world!
My "maybe one day" plans feel more possible than ever! I plan on getting back in touch with my musician friends to finally work on a song or two, joining a gym, making a signature perfume at Bath Junkie (I've had a brown sugar based idea for weeks)... I might even venture into learning a language or taking belly dancing classes or getting one of those wine making kits!
Drea and I have become addicted to Alie and Georgia videos and might organize a local mixed drinks book club... but w/o the book. ~_^
I've wanted to create a local organization for creative professionals for years... I'm finally making contacts that might help make it possible.
Road-trips are definitely in my future... I have friends all over the country that I need to see. I enjoy being an on-call trivia jockey- which provides me with random trips to places where I have friends... and the hosting bars usually give me a free drink or free meal or both. Awesome!
And my regular job- a month and a half in (after the most fun I've ever had training) and they are making me an assistant manager! They are making pretty, glossy, personalized business cards for me! I'm treated like more of a professional with them than I ever was as a corporate trainer!
So yeah, good things are good and bad things are few and far between. There is so much to enjoy, that crazy people (like the one I ranted about in my last post) fade away pretty quickly as long as I let it out and let it go.
Now to bed to dream of cupcakes b/c this "Living Social" ad is making mini cupcakes look really yumtastic!
