Good Lord. I'm not too great at updating my blog for the past while, am I?
Well, I'm still sober. 1 year, 4 months on this coming Sunday. My therapy is still going well, though my weekly sessions will end toward the end of April as well as the group I attend through there as well. I feel as though it has been helpful to me, especially looking back at myself on how I've been in the group setting. I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I also feel like I've definitely been making some progress. I have been learning to be a lot more open with myself and with communication in general. It's still quite difficult for me and wreaks havoc on my anxiety though I have been able to make it through thus far.
I am still trying to find a balance between my recovery and work lately. I know I really need to put a lot more focus on my recovery than I have been for a while but I also really need the house at work financially. With bills piling up my finances are very tight so it's been difficult for me to find a balance between the two. I would love to start getting some freelance graphic work but not much luck so far.
I've had a few small ideas for a new graphic or two to work on. I haven't really started on them yet. I think I need to do some looking around online for inspiration and give them a lot more thought before they'll start to come together in my mind to create them. We'll see where that goes.
I'm glad it's finally March. The weather should start getting warmer since we're now slowly starting to get into Spring. That makes me happy. Once we have a warm day and I'm free and at home I can start getting rid of all the fallen leaves and things in the garden. The tulips should be about ready to start coming out of the ground, though they will still be a ways a way from being fully grown and flowering. It's about time to clear the garden for them and wait to see which plants I planted last year actually come back this year. I planted a good amount of perennials and am hoping that a lot of them come back. I'd like to do a lot more with the garden this year so I am definitely looking forward to the warmer weather and being able to get back into the gardening season again. It feels good to put the work into the garden and having it pay off visually. I like being able to walk home in the evening and walk past the garden I've been working on and seeing all the flowers and things. I love flowers and foliage and it's even more pleasant when I've been doing it myself. Hopefully this year I can create a garden that I'll enjoy even more than last year. I think I'll have to put a lot of thought into how I'd like it to look so I can start making the plans for creating it.
Anyway, time to get some work done so I think that's it for now on here today.
