I took some time to write. I feel better already. Life is a blessing, and God I am thankful for it.

I got on the scale a few days ago. No progress, but no gaining either.

It’s been a rough couple of weeks with work. I am just drained. Teaching is really hard.

I never wanted this blog to be a journal of depression. But I guess in life, we have highs and lows, and I’d be being fake if I didn’t address those.

I have got to figure out a way to stop taking things so personally. I had a really bad interaction with a parent that just ruined my week. I still haven’t completely snapped out of it. But it hurt really badly, and I comforted myself with ice cream, cookies, etc. I started focusing on all that was wrong, instead of all that is right.

Anyway, am taking today to conciously work on being happy, being grateful, and finding a good therapist! Just someone to help me restructure how I think about things, how I take crticism, and how to work on my perfectionist tendencies.
