See? I’m feeling slightly upbeat again.
Maybe pretending to be planning to run away yesterday did the trick for me.
Or maybe it’s the deluge of graphic design work that is FALLING OUT OF THE SKIES for me right now.
It might as well be raining money (hands up those of you picturing me doing a nekkid rain dance, with sticks, or wait… better not tell me).
As facetious as that sounds to say that it might as well be raining money, (yes I have no idea how to spell that so I’m going with the wordpress spell checkers version of it) it is MOST welcome.
Yessirree, very welcome.
It’s quite bizarro really, because even some of my old photography clients are emailing me and asking me if I do websites, etc and while the two fields do go hand in hand a lot, it’s kind of like ringing up your doctor and asking them if they do homeopathy. Like I said, not entirely out of left field, but still suprising. Breeeng eeeet on universe!
So it is the joy of design, and the related work that is pulling me out of my funk.
How many people are blessed enough to say that their WORK is keeping them going? I realise how grateful I am to have this stay-at-home-job, given that Skip has been off school since Monday, but the fact that it is the thing that is lifting me up and giving me the will to not just live, but to succeed and reach for my dreams again, is…well, really cool.
My husband has been stellar. The kids have been, well, themselves, except that now, when they reach out for me spontaneously, or Skip turns as he’s leaving the room and says, “I love you SO much Mommy.” it lifts me so much more than before.
So while the search is always on for a miracle weight loss product, at least my spirits are beginning to lift.
Oh and I still have to share the story with you, of how I’ve seen my dad twice since his death.
But I’m going to make you wait some more.
