Feelings

Happy and Content.

Two feelings I never thought I would ever be able to experience together.

I still have a lot of work to do, but I felt like sharing a short entry with the five or so people that read this. Most aspects of my life are going well right now, and I think that is what has lead to the contentment. I have been stressed out with schoolwork, but have been working hard to do well. I had my supervisor session with my advisor yesterday, and received a lot of positive feedback, as well as suggestions about what I can work on. Overall, it was a great meeting and it feels really great to know that your hard work is paying off and that someone so skilled and experienced in the field (he's been counseling for over 27 years), is able to notice your hard work and sees a large amount of potential in you. I've also been doing well with my workout plan and eating healthier (minus the few slip-ups I've had the past couple of weeks, but I've left the mindset of having to starve or restrict myself completely, and have realized that one day or one meal of "bad eating" will not make me gain twenty pounds. As Jeremy always tells me, "It's all about the big picture, not just the right now") The weather is starting to reflect my good mood and for once I am proud of myself.
