Today I woke up feeling much better. The downzies seem to have subsided for now and I had a fresh outlook on things. I was spending too much time feeling sorry for myself and letting my thoughts control my mood. I was not being proactive and reaching out to people close to me. I was isolating myself and allowing the depression and sadness to envelop me in my little cocoon.
I was watching the news this morning and it appears as though Canada Post will be laying off a fair number of employees in the next year. It made me realize how fortunate I was to be able to work as much as I do in a year. Employment opportunities seem to have diminished drastically over the last few years and jobs are hard to come by. I am still not sure what I will do in the future but, I am thankful for work I have been fortunate to have over the last few years.
I do not have too much to write about tonight. Just kind of checking in I guess. I am feeling more positive and really enjoyed spending today with Ollie. I had a chance to have a coffee with my dad and that really picked me up as well.
Leslie, Bart, Elias and Micah are in the air now on their way to Australia for a visit. Wishing them safe travels and hope they have an amazing time.
Take care, Shawn.
