Cracks In The Veneer

I was holding it together as best I could, trying to stay strong. And then, on Friday, I lost it. I had hit my limit and that was it. Frustrations at my job had risen to the point where I could no longer tolerate the situation.

No, I did not do anything drastic. But I did do what I felt was best for me and that was good. I spoke my truth and that resulted in a positive outcome. Boy, this whole Speaking My Truth thing (thoughtfully, of course) is really pretty great. At least, it's working for me so far.

All of the problems, all of the worries, all of the stresses that I had been working so diligently to keep at bay and not let affect me have finally gotten the better of me. I'm waking up around 4:30am these days with my thoughts. Fortunately, I seem to be able to get back to sleep. But the worries are still there. I've just got a lot to deal with right now. It's flooding my brain.

But some of that worry is useful. Keeps me on my toes. Helps me remember not to let important details fall by the wayside. There are things I need to coordinate in regards to my art. I can't let that go.

I'm not feeling one hundred percent great right now but I'm not feeling all that bad, either. Still taking things as they come, dealing with situations one at a time. It's really the only thing I can do. Here's hoping for some smooth sailing ahead.

Bonus Jasmine Photo of the Day:

A fun day was had by all at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden grand opening of the 2010 Sculpture Gallery last Saturday.

Jasmine got comfy while an artist talked about their sculpture during the art tour.
