Changes....

So some major changes happening in my life so far in 2010. To highlight:

-I started back to school full time with all online classes. It has been stressful at time but I am loving the feeling of having something important in my life that I am doing for ME!

-My husband and I separated. Don't really feel like talking about it other than it has been a long time coming. It has been tough but I am trying to embrace my new life and identity as a single Mama.

-Moved out of my apartment (that I shared with my husband) and into my parents house with my two children. Lots of change and adjustment there obviously.

-started going to support meetings and therapy.

-have started taking long walks out in nature.

-am not doing digi scrapping anymore at all (no time for it) and my my admin position (on the scrap site I was on) was terminated due to the board shutting down. I miss scrapping but have absolutely no time for it right now.

-have started getting into photography again. Even if I have no time to organize or do anything with my pictures I am loving getting out my camera again.

-reading a lot of self help/motivational books.

-going to bed early and rising early (which has been a hard change for me esp. with how busy I am) which I need for my sanity.

-signed my oldest up for kindergarten and am looking into signing my youngest up for pre-k next year as well as some daycare for both a couple of days a week so that I can continue to pursue school full time.

-have made a few new friends.

-am trying to get re-connected with my family again.

-going to start a garden soon and an outside clothesline (which I have always wanted!)

-started journaling again.

-signed up for a few helpful daily e-mail things (divorce care and notes from the universe)

-am managing my depression and anxiety with two anti depressants and got off xanax and sleeping pills.

-have committed my limited online free time to one single parenting board (as opposed to many) and am loving that particular board and feel like it is what I need at this point in my life.

-am embracing my love and quest for natural parenting, living and health and body care. That is right, I am a full on hippie. You know what though? I love it. Lol. ;)
