Hey, all. Just thought I'd pop in for a quick update. I've been combing through people's threads and seeing what's going on. For the most part, I see some really awesome progress. This site has really been a life-saver for more than just myself.
I went to that writer's meeting. It wasn't huge, and I didn't have the chance to really connect with anyone, but it was definitely a step forward. The coffee shop where we met was awesome (had a unique decor that Starbucks just can't match), and it's one more social thing that I've done. I am planning to do more.
I recently applied for a position at work that would pay me $200 more a month plus mileage to support multiple branches of my bank. 4 other people applied. My interview went really well. We'll see what happens. I could really use the extra $$$.
I have recently read two books by Dale Carnegie that have had a profound effect on me: "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living." Both contain some amazingly practical advice about how people work, even though both were published decades ago. I would advise anyone to check them out. "Worrying" has an amazing section on positive thinking to combat depression and increase overall happiness.
Haven't talked to W much. She T'd me telling me that she will be visiting at the end of this month and would like to have the rabbit. During that time, I can sign the D papers and she can file them. I said sure. She also called me at 10 PM last night (probably 12-1 AM her time) and didn't leave a VM. It could have been an accidental dial, but then again, maybe not. I'm not going to waste much more time thinking about it.
I have an appt. with my C tomorrow. Haven't seen her in weeks. Can't wait.
Life is a daily gift! I'm so very glad to be alive and making the changes that I'm making. I wish you all the best. I don't think that I'll be here as often as I used to because I don't really need the site as I did before, but I'll still visit every now and then. Make way for the new waves and all that.
