Well 2013 is behind me and I'm pleased that it is done and dusted. It was a hard one, filled with doubt, fear, pain and horribleness. I was very fortunate to get out of that horrid job and get back into advertising with the FEVER. Sure this little newspaper isn't an easy sell but it is what I know and I have been much much happier in this job.
I was fortunate enough to make a little bit of commission for christmas. Plus I got to enjoy 2 weeks of pure relaxation. It is the first time in years that I relaxed 100% If I wanted to sleep in I did, if I want to have a beer at 10 in the morning I did.
I spent christmas with people I love and it was easy going and so enjoyable.
I am still on my anti-depressants and they have truly helped me. That along with a shift in attitude, a shit in what is important and slowly building my confidence in me again. Happy to report that I am so much better. No tears, no pain.
A decision to enjoy my life has resulted in me attending a golf championship and walking the course with some of golfs' great players. There is a trip to Swaziland on the horizon AND another job application with an increase in salary.
One thing I am always grateful for - my freedom. To be me. To fail. To pick myself off. To give myself praise. Without guilt.
