Jessa -

You are inspiring! (Seriously - you made me want to go shopping for some new fun clothes.....Inspiring!)

Seriously - this seems like a great 180. I've been in a funk so long I don't know how to get out of it. This seems like a good start! Gussy myself up a little bit, smile like I used to....

My IC yesterday and I were talking about how I am exactly where I am supposed to be on my life's journey. There's a line in the poem "Desiderata" that says, "Whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should." We talked about that a little bit. I told her that I know what I HAVE to do right now, but I don't WANT TO!!! She laughed.

And that's the truth. I'm looking into the darkness of the future that I didn't know was mine. It's so different from the life I thought I was living...although--maybe it ISN'T so different, actually. But it's my path, and I've got to walk it. Might as well do it with some fun clothes, bright lipstick, and some sass!

Seriously - thanks for the upbeat post. It's a good way to start my day!
