Happiness

I had a realization this week.   I realized that in spite of this back injury and how it has turned my world upside down, I am happier.  Happier because I do not have to drag my butt out of bed at 5 AM every morning and feed farm animals in the dark.  Happier because I don't have to go to a job that although I loved, still had it's stress factors.  Those factors were of course coworkers.  I loved my boss, I really did.  But what made her nice to work for also made her difficult to work for.  She had a terrible time with confidentiality.  We knew everything going on with every co worker because she would tell all of us.  I used to hate that.  There were times we were called out for something that really was just not a big deal and I would come home feeling frustrated and angry.  So I realized that I no longer have those feelings at the end of the day.  My time is now mine, and even though I live with constant pain, I think this happened for the best.  I have a peace now that I haven't had in years.
Do I miss my job?  Absolutely!  But I do not miss the drama.

So with my spare time I decided to go back to knitting with wire for a while and I made a beautiful black wire and bead cuff.  I love it.  I plan on making a bunch more and selling them on Etsy.

I wish you all a beautiful weekend!
