It’s funny how you can be unaware of what feelings, attitudes, or vibes you may be giving off. I had a friend this week tell me she could tell I was unhappy by some of my blogs, and by my Facebook status’s and posts. I knew I felt sad, and unhappy, but had no idea people could tell. I am usually pretty good at hiding my emotions. In public places that is, not at home. At home is where I fall apart, ha ha.
I have been told at previous jobs that I always come to work happy, and leave my home life, and problems behind when I come to work. I have been working through horrible pain, and wanting to move back to Colorado, even though I wasn’t fully aware how much so, and that I would actually make the big decision to do it. So I guess I wasn’t hiding it well. At work yes, people would never know I wanted to leave and go home and ice my shoulder, instead I smiled and laughed while I worked. A flaw of mine, something that I need to work on.
So many things have fallen into place with this move. I have had three different people offer me to store things in their house so I don’t have to put things in storage. Also, I have two different people who will let me stay with them if I need to for a couple of weeks once my lease is up. I am lucky to have such great friends. A job also opened up at a library in a small town near where I’m from in CO. I would LOVE that job, and am qualified for it. I am going to apply, and since I don’t believe in coincidences, I don’t think it’s ironic such a job would open up around when I was going to move. We’ll see I am just letting life take me where I’m meant to go.
Right now I am in the process of selling some of my things on a local site through Facebook that is like Craigslist, but all local people. I have read it has less stalkers than Craigslist, which was comforting, ha ha. So far it has been a lot of work, and so far I have sold 3 things, only paid for one physically so far. Trying to get people to get a hold of you in a timely matter is so frustrating! I am hoping to sell my furniture on there, not until the end of this month though, or early February. The beauty is I can tell them they can buy it, and have to pick it up. No moving for me!
It is a special day today, my dad’s birthday! So here is a happy and light picture to celebrate his birthday, although he may not be feeling happy, and light about his birthday
This picture is in honor of my dad’s sense of humor. A little creepy yes, but come on, you have to see the humor in it? I can just think of his comments now… Happy Birthday dad!

Isn’t it amazing how pain can produce positive change? I’m excited for you!
I never realized that could happen, until I experienced it. Pain is a strong physical feeling, that can produce strong emotional feelings as well. I discovered I couldn’t continue down the road I was going. As much as I hate being in pain, I am happy it happened because it has helped me change things. I’m excited too!
