Consistency...Finally

When I started this blog I originally wanted to use it as a daily journal or something like that. Obviously, it hasn't out that way, but that's ok. I haven't posted in a while and that's a good thing. It means things haven't been that bad lately. I actually feel as if there is some consistency in my life again; how I'm feeling, daily routines (like taking the girls to school and picking them up). I even went to the gym yesterday for the time in a couple of months or so. I made sure not to make it too strenuous since it had been a while, but it was good to add something else to the routine, plus I went with Traci who goes almost daily.

I definitely feel as if I'm headed back in the direction that I was hoping I would. Sure the financial struggle hasn't gone away, but I feel more like I'm taking it one day at a time. I still think about things down the road, but I don't focus on them as much, figuring we'll deal with it as it gets closer (and more important). I'm not back to normal, and I feel as if I may never get back there, but I'm feeling better. Maybe it's God, maybe it's the medication, maybe something else or all of the above. Whatever it is, I like it and hope things continue to improve.

I think it also has to do with something my therapist said and talked about with me. She has tried to get me to focus on the positive things in my life and she has said that I'm pretty accomplished, in my prime, etc. When I've had time to think about that, she's right. I have a roof over my head as well as my familys', I have a good, enjoyable job (which is a big plus in the current economy!), a loving and supportive family. So in the big picture, I'm really doing alright, and that's what I need to focus on.
