There is no longer an impending sense of dread when contemplating going to work in the a.m. My change was just what the "doctor" ordered. My stress levels have plummeted. I no longer feel compelled to play WoW for hours on end just because I want to be numb (sorry Guildies, I've kicked back into high gear).
I think the lull was good for me in lots of ways. But I can tell I'm back to being "me." I've already read one book this week, and significant parts of two more. I'm writing in droves for the book again. (The last few months I have wanted to do nothing other than just veg out and play WoW, regardless of my looming deadlines). Not only that, the stuff I'm learning can actually be manipulated to be another teaching tool in my books (very happy about this multi-dimensional purpose).
The angels are good to me. I am very happy. I am also very lucky. There is a lot of joy in my life right now. I want to share that joy with others. I am energized to bring my book to life, in hopes that it can help others to make their lives something that they can truly be grateful for.
And, in a bizaare twist of topic, I'm absolutely loving the new Fox show, "Lie to Me." Check it out on Hulu.com, Episodes 2-6 are up there currently, the only thing you'll miss is the pilot.
Ciao for now.
