Over the last couple of weeks there have been a dozen or so threads about people having a bad day or bad week. I feel guilty because I have been quite happy lately. I've been making quite a bit more money; I've been getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night instead of none; I've made several friends at work.
In addition to all of this, I have made a few deals with myself. 1) I have dismissed all of my former grudges. . including. . and this is very hard: my best friend of 15 years that betrayed me to the elders. I figure "what's the point? I'll probably never see the bitch. . . I mean girl again." 2) I am temporarily ending all contact with my family. There wasn't much contact as it is because they pretty much shun me, but my mother calls just enough to upset me. I need a break. 3) I was going to take a year's hiatus from school because if I went now, I'd have to pay out-of-state costs which is a lot more than residents pay; but I am going to cut that short. I really miss school. I know it'll make me feel even better. So I am going to go ahead and apply and hopefully if all goes well, I'll be taking classes by springtime.

One weird, interesting side effect is that I haven't been posting as much. It seems as if my dependency on JWD is lessening now that my life is getting back on track.
Anyways. . I hope others are doing well also. If so, I want to hear about it. Like I said, I've been seeing a lot of posts about how sad people are feeling. How about something uplifting?
