Happy NEW YEAR

Ok my last post just got wiped out. I just want to say happy new year to everyone. Stay present and remember to have gratitude. Peace and Love

Life is good

Well I have really been lucky lately. I got a great package from one of my swap partners from the Starbucks Swap. I felt very lucky for all the goodies she put together. I'm still working on getting my knitting done but sadly I haven't gotten any closer. But we are really having a nice holiday season.

I'm really looking forward to getting out of my current job and moving on. Its a toxic place to work but I've worked on keeping myself free of that. I'm really grateful for having a chance to move forward. I can't wait. I hope to get rolling next week.

New Job

So I didn't get one of the jobs but I did get the other and I am happy about this new option. Its a cool idea in terms of how it works out. I do in home work and teach parents how to deal with a child how is mentally ill. It will be really different from what I was doing but still in the realm of my practice. I'm looking forward to starting. I'm also really looking forward to being done with my other job. YEA.

On the knitting front, not much to report. I haven't been doing much of that. I really need to pick that back up because I have some gifts I promised. Hopefully later today.

Swap Packages

I just got two great swap packages. Take a look at how much my SP13 spoiled me. Its obvious how she had really taken time to stalk me and figure out what i liked. I can't say thank you enough secret pal for the time you put into this.

Then I got another package from my Winter Wonderland Swap partner Sandy. She really took time to put together a great package too. I am so lucky to be spoiled by two such great partners.

Its December

Wow its already December and I don't have my knitting done. UGH. I have somethings going so I don't think that I will end up feeling too stressed. At least I hope I don't. Things other than that are good. I still don't know about the job stuff. I have another opportunity but I'm not sure its what I want. Things at the current job are about the same. I'm trying hard to keep the negative energy off of me so that I don't have to take that home with me. Overall its going ok. I need to stay way from all the negative thoughts otherwise the job won't be possible. Hey at least I still have a job it could be worse. Alot worse.

Now I need to go and get myself going with picking out the right presents for the rest of the family and this holiday season will be just fine.
