Half way through 2011 and changes, changes everywhere...
Began the New Year in a relationship where we dabbled with the idea of marriage only to have it end abruptly.
Another friendship ended abruptly.
I've taken a sabbatical from writing, for the most part, even though poetry seems to pouring forth every free moment I have.
And free moments are scarce right now.
Spent the last week and a half moving all my things from one place to another, in between being nanny to two fabulous 8 year old twin girls (believe that?).
Financial responsibilities have been dramatically decreased and looking forward to getting out of debt, improving my credit, having a reliable car, traveling and setting a goal for purchasing my own house in the next 3 - 5 years.
Ended another friendship when she just couldn't avoid one particular taboo subject.
Feeling an overwhelming urge to draw and paint - once I get everything unpacked and moved into the new place.
Decided that being single is not the end of the world and probably preferable at this stage in my life.
And going for a job interview next week.
Even thinking about going back to school.
And I'm actually feeling rather great.
And getting a tan.
My new place has a community pool and the girls like to swim. Yeah!!! Spent four days in the water already. And the community has been very warm and welcoming.
And my brain seems to be producing adrenaline or something.Thoughts of submitting my writing seem to be swirling around in my brain. A lot. Once the Muse kicks in again, I think I'm gonna be busy. I can hear her knocking around in my head. Maybe she's as disoriented as I am right now. Watch out when she straightens up and decides to fly right. I think I'll be on fire.
Right now, it's just nice to not be badgering myself about writing and then beat myself up when I don't. I started a new journal the second official day I was in my new place. Day One I had to go back to work after taking a weeks vacation to move.
Despite the J.O.B., I feel like a new person and I look forward to what the day has to offer. Depression doesn't seem to be lurking around every corner anymore. Life's looking up. And believe it or not, I'm happy.

Expect the unexpected - that's the lesson I've learned! But it sounds like you are really on a positive track. Good luck with the move, with the interview, and eventually with the writing. There is a season for everything! One. Day. At. A. Time.
