Day 23 -Sunshine and stitches
I am full of sunshine! Yesterday’s blues have faded away and I find myself delighted at the smallest thing. I stride to work in the morning promising before I go to make dinner for everyone for two nights running.
At work I get to use a new piece of stationary for the first time and I am so happy that I insist on telling everyone. My positive attitude continues through the day and stories I had worried were too complex come easily on to the page.
I have another meeting with a mortgage provider and am happy because she seems just as delighted as me at the fact that this will be my first real home. My sister drops the monster off, otherwise known as the baby, so she can go shopping and even his bad temper fails to erase my good cheer to the world at large. I smile at people in the streets even when they look like they want to kill me for polluting their air with my smoke.
Instead of sneaking off to bed when I return home I make the dinner, go for a little walk with my mother and even avoid turning to the fridge for comfort. In a mood of creativity I learn how to knit a basic stitch out of sky blue wool and although it is hard I feel as though I have really achieved something.
Knitting is meant to be quite a therapeutic past time and I am hoping that this new skill will help me through both the highs and lows by giving me something to focus upon. Perhaps I will knit myself a pair of shoes or even a scarf although at the rate I am going it will be next winter before I feel the benefit.
Feeling great and full of sunshine and depression is well and truly at bay.
