update

This post might seem a bit self-absorbed, but I just wanted to tell you that I am feeling much better. Being able to talk things out with someone and realizing that I was expecting way too much out of myself... and being hyper critical of everything I did, was not healthy. I am actually loving drawing again and I'm so happy!  I know a big part of feeling better has been the medicine my doctor prescribed. It got me off of the cycle of anxiety. I think that after years of being anxious just caused me to forget how to relax and deal with things like a regular person. So the combination of the two has done wonders (despite my opposition to drugs.) So it's all good!

And I have a great idea that I am going to post about on June 1st!  It involves you too, so I want to get all my information together so I can entice you to join me :)  I hope you'll be just as excited as I am! My inner art educator is coming out! Or wanna-be gallery owner. Oh, you'll see!

I hope you have a great weekend! My inlaws are due here any minute and are staying with us until Saturday evening. Craig and I are actually going on a date! We're trying a newer Tapas restaurant.  Be back soon! ;)

You have got me wondering Bethany...in a good way! What are you up to? I am glad to hear that you are finding life a little easier. Life is too short to feel trapped by things that you can change. Jen

Ooo... what is gonna happen?!!

And I am so glad to hear you are feeling better. I can't say I understand, but a close relative struggles with this and i have seen the battle and it isn't easy. But you have the desire and energy to fight and grow, so I am encouraged. I constantly think and pray for you...
