Finding Balance

At the end of July I got a part-time job which is HUGE for me since I haven't worked outside of the house in 8 years. I've been finding time to work and still create art and art projects but it's been a new adventure. A good adventure at that.

One thing that I really like about working is that I've gotten myself back into the circulation of social-ness. Normally I tend to secret myself away from anyone and get wrapped up in projects and alone-time. Now I've been socializing and it really feels good.

Also, it has helped me get through the loss of my 14 year old cat Pete which I had to put to sleep on Aug 11. I'm still heart broken but I have plenty to keep my mind busy.

I know this is going to sound strange, but ever since July I've felt this shift of energy in my life - one for the good - Since the beginning of the year new things have been happening. I've been more social, I've made new friends and now am working. It seems that things just keep getting better.

And speaking of better, starting September 26, I am going to school for Reiki. By November 9th I will be a Reiki practioner! I can't wait - It's something I always wanted to do.

All this leaves me less time to Blog and be on the internet but I have not left it completely. Hopefully I will start to blog more and tell of my exciting adventures!

Today is the day of balance - wow you and I are having synchronicities again!

I'm glad you are finding time for both art and "real" people. Not that I'm not real but you know what I mean.

Do try and pop over to my blog before Monday - I'm doing a giveaway!

Hi Joy. I haven't visited in awhile and then I read this post and I was elated! You go girl! And Reiki opens up so many good doors--in a good way. It's so healing. I can just feel your burst of energy and I love it!

Joy, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat, and so glad to hear about all the positive things in your life. I did Reiki I and never got around to taking the next levels. Maybe sometime soon... thanks for the prompt. I'm really glad to know you're getting out into the world. Yay, Joy!!!

I'm sooo happy for your socializing again!
I feel for your Pete! Now, Merlin is with him in Heaven! :) Loosing a pet is so difficult! *sigh*
Thinking of you even if not very present in blogsphere! :) Your doll is always near my PC, and I see her as I write this comment! :)
Take care!
