Seek the light.

In an effort to get out of my recent negative funk, I was inspired by Delightfully Tacky's "Life Lately" posts to create one of my own.  Only I put my own spin on it and made mine all about acknowledging and letting go.

So, I am currently...

• Frustrated with...my current state in limbo.  I'm at a weird point in my life where I'm not going to classes anymore, so I don't have to answer to professors.  But I'm not completely out of school yet, so my life is still dictated by school.  I feel like if I weren't floating in the middle, I would be able to take charge of my own life and get to a place where I am happy.

• Upset about...missing yet another Halloween.  This kind of relates to my lack of choices.  I have to work all day on Halloween, and my workplace doesn't allow any outward celebration of the holiday for PR purposes.  I have so many fun costumes planned in my head, but they're going to have to stay there for at least another year.

• Trying to...gain patience.  I've been so stressed [and sleep deprived] lately that any little thing completely throws me out of whack.  I'm trying to accept my position and realize that it will all be over with in May.

• Excited about...the weather.  It may sound trivial, but it's so nice to at least have a beautiful day to look out on.  Plus, so many baked goods and drinks taste better when it's cold!

• Thankful for...my LoveDove.  He is the most amazing person I know.  He has this magical way of knowing exactly how to make my day better.  He is also one of the most patient people I've ever been around.  I'm in awe of how he puts up with me sometimes. 

• Looking forward to...the Christmas season.  This is the one holiday I have guaranteed days off [in which I will relish!].  I've also started my Christmas lists for my loved ones, and I'm beyond excited for some of the things I have planned!

That was, surprisingly, extremely therapeutic.  I just need to remember how temporary my situation is and focus on what's positive in my life.

Peace,

Amelia
