Grateful

I haven’t been feeling too awesome lately. The commute to the full time job is wearing me out way more than I thought it would. I’m feeling stressed more than I did before and more frustrated too.

But I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to give it a go. To make my bank accounts look a little less sad and to be able to think of the bigger picture and my plans.

I’m also grateful that a special baby was born today to some wonderful people that I know will love him to bits. And that fills my heart with joy. I actually did a little dance on the street when I saw the news.

I am grateful that I came home to a safe place in a sad mood and felt better just by the company and the comfort of my home.

I am feeling a bit lost without the time to blog, it’s how I express myself, but I am getting there and things will be better after a good nights sleep.

Things are going to be ok, I think.

    Loveliest Dannielle, I so wish I could reach through the computer and reassure you with a big hug. I think you’re wonderful, caring, loving and I so wish I could reassure you that things will be better than ok. Sometimes being a grown up sucks, I wish we didn’t have to worry about bank account balances driving us to do things that we don’t hate doing but would rather not be doing. Keeping your eye on the big picture is important though and I have every faith in you. xxxx

    I couldn’t agree with Cat more – keeping an eye on the big picture is important! Sometimes the day-to-day stuff kind of sucks, but I know you have a vision of where you want to be/what you want to do in the long term and what you’re doing now is helping you move closer to that (even if it doesn’t seem like it when the alarm goes off in the morning!). I know sometimes I get caught up with the angst and annoying-ness or everyday, and lose sight of that big picture, it’s easy to do. But, I love that you’re looking for the little rays of sunshine in every day too – all those little comforts can add up to a happy day I think :)

    Things will definitely be okay — changes are hard, but you will get through it and come out the other side stronger and better than ever!
