Can we Pause Right Here?

I'm having an incredible week.

1. I returned to work on Monday. I was so moved with one class's outpouring of emotion over my return to them that I got misty-eyed at work.

The students have been working hard in my class, and my TA is actually pretty cool - she even said she'd be more than happy to help me with grading all the essays. I am pleased with everything related to work right now. It's such a change. The TA even found stuff my last sub said she had thrown inthe trash. It was crammed into file cabinets. It made my day!

2. My love life....well, I still have the boyfriend. I'm feeling like my anger from falltime is melting away, and I can live for us NOW and for us in the future. He is mending my broken heart quite well. I can't wait to see him in a few days!!!

3. Health exams continue to reveal me to be vibrant, healthy, and free of any more complications..... I did gain back some of my 2011 weight loss, but I am actually okay with it because I feel alive. I feel healthy. I considered taking up running again, but I did that a year ago, and I wound up having a stroke three months into the year. I'm not interested in repeated that. I will just focus on other things.

4. My hospital sent me a check. I'm not sure what it's for, but I'll be more than happy to cash it. We can always use a little kick-back, right?

5. I am finally excited to go to therapy after work tomorrow. I want my therapist to see what I'm like when I'm 100% happy.
