I'm bringing it back. The Lovely Loobylu used to do a "What's Hot, What's Not" Wednesday. It was fun. Sometimes even the nots are fun (and we might throw a few in on occasion because snark is too good to resist), but we'll prefer to stick mostly to the hots.
So to begin our 2012 What's Hot, we are going to also include a short time travel to 2011.
Counseling: I was stuck. Badly. So badly it was hurting. And, with some prompting by old friends and new spiritual guides, I took the plunge. I decided to throw all my crazy at a stranger (and not just any stranger, like here, but one trained and qualified to tell me I was crazy). You know the amazing thing? He told me I wasn't crazy. And I was kind of offended. But he did open some old hurts, showed me healthy and unhealthy patterns/boundaries, and how to teach myself the difference between the person I think society says I should be, the person I told myself I should be, and the person I WANT to be.
Vacation: I had not taken a two week vacation since college. Well, unless you count that one time I quit my job and didn't look for another until the migraines subsided two weeks later, or my three week maternity leave; I do not.
And it was wonderful. No travel, no pressure, just lots of family time, some friend time, lots of crafting, X-Files, and ruminating. I have never been so okay with being fairly unproductive. I did not feel the need to visit work, or check email, or do the dishes if the mood did not strike. Peace and calm and allowing my mind and emotions to re-align to new boundaries.
Work: It was nice get back to work. My unharried and unharrassed time off reminded me how much I love my job. I enjoy most every aspect. I get to see people I love on a daily basis, I get to organize and schedule and plot and map, I get to be involved with things near and dear to my heart, and all the while be myself (loud, flirtatious, funny, quiet, rock star hair, tattoos, and everything else).
You: You are hot. And you should tell me more about yourself. I would like that very much.

Vacations really are for stopping and doing very little and recharging your batteries(not rushing from one tourist spot to another just so you can say you've been there!) I love that you love your job! My daughter loves her job too. I have never had a job that I actually loved apart from being a Mum. Counselling-no experience so no comment. By the way your Blog redecorating looks wonderful!!!
