Life lately.

Life lately has taken me for a ride and I've been feeling caught up in a continual tailspin spiraling downward.

Ugh.  Not very pleasurable.

My J-O-B is to be held accountable for this state of affairs, for sure.  Where I work, negative energy abounds.  It's a force field that can barely be penetrated and I feel stuck there...for right now.
I HAVE made strides in reducing the amount of time I spend there, but they still suck the life force from our bodies and souls regardless, it would seem.

I KNOW!!! SO DRAMATIC.  Yuck.  I make myself sick thinking about how lowdown I am over this place.
Anyway, it has a lot do to with the Anxiety Disorder I developed due to exactly the same environment LAST YEAR...almost exactly to the day.  Yep.  I lost my mind last April working in this same place and I left for four months.  Since returning, I have reduced my hours, responsibilities and stepped down from the Manager position I previously held.
BUT STILL.
The company, the people, the mindset.  All of it is rife with strife.
And I am trying to figure out a way to dig myself out completely without sacrificing the financial contribution I make to my household income.  Art is one way, but until that becomes consistently profitable, I need a back up plan.

So that's a snippet of the journey I have been on since last April.

You will hear more about this as the journey continues, but for today I want to share some little slices of loveliness that I encountered last weekend on an outing with my sweet family.

Happy Saturday!
