Looking Forward

I made it through Mother's Day! I had one minor breakdown at the beginning of brunch, but a trip to the restroom helped me recover and even enjoy myself. It was nice to spend the afternoon with my mom. Now that the day I most dreaded is gone for another year, I am looking forward to trying this month. The stress I felt over the pink slips is gone now that I have a guaranteed job for next year. The staples are gone from my head and I am healing. The school year is almost over. I even find that I am sleeping better at night. I feel more positive than I did a week ago. I hope it lasts. I hope I can continue looking forward and not regress into the sadness I felt last week.
