when life throws you lemons, throw them back and demand champagne!

so the people who know whats going on are the only people who read this blog anyway! But its important to reply to my last post. I just read it. holy raving mad emos batman!
It hasn't been that long since i posted that and since the replies and reassurances from those who read it helped me to do what I said at the end of it. Pick a direction and go for it.
So I sat down and organised a few things and sent out some letters. Then I got a phone call saying i got the job. And I sold something on Etsy. And I hung out with friends and family.
And now I only have one shift left at woollies and a few days off before I start at my new job as a salesperson in a Jewellery shop, which compliments the course I'm still loving. I'm nervous as. More so than i was at the interview! because now i have to prove it all. My enthusiasm, my reliability, my ability to learn, my integrity. I have to stand by all the things I said to get me where i am. Its a good kind of nervous. A self-challenging 'I'm about to learn something important about myself' kinda nervous.

So I'm feeling much better. There's movement, there's a future with a little more definition. And there's a much happier cherry in the middle of it being able to enjoy and be grateful for all the good things in my life! (that means you!)
