My first day actually doing something for school...school really doesn't start until next week, but I joined a couple of workshops to get me "in the mode" for school...now I have assignments, reading material, and questions to ponder. It's great!!! I have deadlines for each day, and at the end of the week there will be a "test" of sorts. What a feeling of empowerment and usefulness! I feel a sense of direction and purpose, and it's great. The stress is there, but this time it's a positive kind. SERIOUSLY!! I don't have the negative stressors that I had before. I could listen to some former business associates and allow myself to go back down there, but I've adapted a different strategy; listen to them, empathise, and move on.
The time I'm spending with my husband has been so rewarding lately. I feel like things are changing so much for the better as I have more positive things to think about. Certainly, the idea of my not having a job at this moment is worrisome, but I know that if I continue to look I can find something while I'm doing my schooling. For now, I'm told to relax and enjoy-so that's what I'm doing.
Haven't talked with my daughters for a few days. Left a message, but I'm sure they're busy with their lives and will call me when they can. I miss them. My husband and I discussed flying there to see them, but the dollar signs were too much. Now it seems our next plan is a drive (approximately 6 hours one way) which will be less expensive than a flight. I think we'll probably stay at a hotel, rather than have them put us up, as it can be a burden to their lifestyles. Whatever, that will be an enjoyable trip. I can't wait!
Have to go back to studies..later!
