It has been a long time since I felt this way. Where there always seems to be smile playing about my lips and where praise and worship songs are ringing through my heart and outward. Smiling and laughing is sooo good for the soul. I have missed it. Things have finally turned around and this is the reason why I'm feeling so good.
I have been anxious to get out of my previous job for a long time now and it finally happened about seven weeks ago. I am so thankful for this change and I am certain that this is the main reason why I feel the way that I do. It is a different job in what I do even though it is retail. If you read a previous post it details what that job is all about.
Before starting at Target I was always feeling ill, worried that I was going to be sick. I worried about everything possible. I was so stressed out that I didn't want to do anything, and I had what I thought was anxiety attacks that I had to will away. It was not a fun place to be in. It was hard, tough and I hated the idea that I felt that way and that I felt as though I was always whining to people about it all. I needed to get it all off of my chest though and I truly thank God for those who took the time to listen and give me words of encouragement through that time.
I am working straight days now, always have Sundays off, no questions and never asked to work it anyway. My stress levels dropped to minimal and I have very few issues of feeling ill or worrying about things. Finances are finally starting to look up as I was set behind last summer with my leap of faith. It sure helps with the increase in pay rate. God is sooo good.
I am still working at establishing a routine to my days, making adequate time to spend with the Lord. My roommate that I had move in back in November is moving out on Saturday due to her employment situation and is taking along her dog Toto. Also this week my best friend and her husband moved into the basement. So there will be some great social times coming up as we mesh so well together. We shall have good times.
