New beginnings...sort of

I've changed things around a bit in my life since my last update.  I am currently sitting in my new apartment I moved into about a month ago.  It's not much different from my last one but the big change really is that I can do laundry anytime I want as I have a stackable washer/dryer.  No one likes doing laundry, and if you do, I already don't understand you...I don't judge you but I will never understand you.

The second change I've made is at work.  I applied, interviewed, was offered and accepted a new role.  Currently into my fourth week at said new job and I can usually be found grinning like an idiot as I walk the halls at work just b/c I enjoy what I'm doing that much.  It is all behind the scenes and I literally just go from one project to the next, never two things the same as the two things I did before.  I say two things b/c usually I have at least two things I'm working on.  There is great variety and no two days (I'm quite obsessed with "two" at the moment aren't I?) are alike in any way really.

The apartment change kind of just happened literally last minute - I won't go into details but let's just say a bad situation got turned around within less than 24 hours and I'm grateful for all who helped.

The job change was very much needed in my overall happiness and I feel like I truly stuck with it and suffered through my previous job (which tested my will power on a daily basis) to get to a job/where I'm at now, to truly be happy again.  And who knows, maybe the new will wear off and I'll eventually not be so happy, but I'm in no rush to test that theory but seriously after four weeks, hell after one day, the differences were night/day!

So if you are unhappy and feel yourself being pulled down, stick with it and do what you can to make a change happen.  You have to put in the effort for things to change or nothing will.  Don't get stuck in a rut - seize the moment, and have patience for it to happen!
