Clear Skies

To those of you who’ve been tuning in with any regularity, it may seem odd that I haven’t touched my journal in quite some time. After all, it was one of the first blog categories on the site and definitely the one I posted to most frequently until a few months ago. So what happened to make me stop talking about my personal life, you ask? Well, no need to worry, as it isn’t for any undesirable reason. After about two years of turbulence, it seems my family and I are finally seeing clears skies, leaving me with much less to vent about.

My career seems to have stabilized at last. Gone are the endless days of waking up and trudging bitterly to work. My new job, supervisor, and coworkers leave very little to be desired. The work can be a bit tedious at times, but my experiences over the past few years have vastly changed my attitude on the subject. As long as I can come home every night after a hard day’s work with a well-earned check in hand, I’ll be happy no matter what I’m doing or how much of it I have to do.

More importantly, I am now able to fully provide for my family. We’re by no means lounging in the lap of luxury, but at least I can say that we don’t have to depend on anyone else for needs. Not being able to accomplish this was always a big drain on my self-esteem, so you can imagine how great I feel to be a dependable provider once again.

The new apartment has become more than simply a place to live. After four months of watching my son growing up there, I can safely say that it is our home. We’ve settled in quite nicely and I hope to remain there for quite some time, or at least until we can afford a house.

All in all, I haven’t had much to complain about since last year, so I haven’t felt the need to post in my journal. I suppose I could always talk about how great my life has become, but that would feel too much like bragging. I think, for the time being, I’ll just leave it be. No doubt, with lifes ups and downs, I’ll be back at it sooner than I expect.
