Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Like You're Floating On Air
I feel really good today.
Not giddy or especially happy, but good. For the first time in what feels like forever, my head isn't throbbing, my digestive system is quietly performing it's normal duties, and my mental outlook could best be described as sunny. Work is still work, but I feel better about my situation and the more realistic expectations we're setting for our team and client. There are reasonable deadlines for busy work and enough creative research to keep me engaged for now.
There's less mess and chaos at home too. Although I wouldn't call it spring cleaning, I've made measurable progress on the laundry, mending, and tidying. I still have a mini shoe pile in the dining room though and the laundry pile seems to grow exponentially, but I'm comfortable with that. Now that I'm working more normal hours, I've been able to cook more. We're also signing another year-long lease on the townhouse, which makes me feel a little more grounded.
And then there's the spring-like weather. I can almost feel the new flowers pressing against the soil to soak up the little bits of sunlight peeking through the clouds. I bought a springy trench coat yesterday in a cheery light red. I love it, partly because it flattering, but also because it looks the way I feel right now.
And I just realized, this is how I want to feel every day.

Isn't spring wonderful? I love this time of year! It definately lifts the spirits to see the sun!
I got your package today! Thank you so much, they are adorable and I absolutely LOVE that birthday card even though I hate to admit that I have reached the age to need bifocals!
