FEELING HUMAN AGAIN

It's been happening very subtly, but I notice that I'm beginning to feel human again.  Energy to get the day's work done.  Energy to walk the dog and ride my bike--in one day!  Energy to paint, even on work days.

This past week I joined Weight Watchers online.  Hell will freeze over because I often said I'd "never" do that.  Well, I figured, what the heck--nothing else seems to be working.  This weekend I've actually been EXCITED about experimenting with the new recipes I'm finding and creating.  Wonderful tasting, satisfying foods!  (Still get the hungry feeling, but one step at a time!)

I've been asked to do a commission painting for a friend, and I started a practice piece today.  I have another piece I've been working on for the past couple of days.  Two paintings at once.  It's been a very long time since I've had that kind of creative drive, and it's WONDERFUL.

I just feel alive--thank God for breathing new life into my spirit and my body!!

Have a blessed week. :)
