Highs and Lows

I took an unintentional blogging break.... I'm sure you noticed.  I thought I'd drop in and write a few words before the blog got all mossy. Hmm virtual moss... anyway, it's been one of those not so great weeks.  I don't have much to say in the way of vintage or clothing, or fashion today, I just feel like writing what's on my mind.  This is as good a place as any to lay it all out there so what the heck!

The week didn't get off to the greatest start.  I had a terrible meeting at work that put me in a tailspin about where my future lies, what I want to get out of a job, and how my current job makes me feel.  It's a terrible feeling knowing what you want out of life, but thinking that it is so out of reach.  I work a regular 9-5 job to pay the bills, but I would really love to have my own shop.  I feel stuck professionally and that has got me down. 

Tuesday proved to be no better as I mourned the loss of a loved one.  Dealing with heavy stuff this week really puts things in perspective and makes me question a whole lot of things.  Consequently those thoughts made me feel like I'm sucking at being an adult and not getting all I want out of life.  On top of all of this I haven't been motivated to go to the gym this week, and my scale is telling my I'm five lbs. up.  All this has piled up, and all I want to do is curl up on the couch. (maybe a little bit of this too is due to the fact that I've been glued to the TV watching my newly acquired first season of A Different World).  That said I haven't been feeling creative this week. 

Things are looking up though.  I've dedicated myself to improving in all the areas in which I think I'm failing.   It helps too, that tomorrow is a holiday and we get to spend it celebrating a dear friend's wedding, which I have been looking forward to for so long.  Ultimately life is a series of peaks and valleys, so hopefully my climb upwards has started.

I've got a few blog posts swirling in the old noggin, so get pumped!! have a lovely weekend ♥
