Day 112- Dream, Dream, Dream

Lately I've been having a lot of dreams about about snakes, including last night. I'm waking up feeling anxious because there is nothing I'm afraid of as much as I'm afraid of snakes. So, I decided to look up today what dreaming about them meant.

One thing dreaming about snakes means is that you are in the process of healing and resolving issues. That is what I have been doing for the last 7 months while I work through my issues of anxiety. Another thing snakes can represent in a dream are that you are in a time of transition or transformation. Not only can this relate to my emotional and mental state with my anxiety and depression, but I'm transitioning to a new job as well.

A last thing that snakes could mean in a dream are that you are having some fear or are anxious about something. Last night in my dream I kept running into piles of snakes while I was on a dirt path with others, training for a race. I remember thinking yesterday that I'm not sure if I'll be ready for my 5K race in November. Based on that, I probably am afraid I won't be ready.

Now that I know what it means to dream of snakes, I won't be as bothered when I do.

Day 111- A Little Bit Shorter

My last few blogs have been a little bit shorter than normal. Part of the reason is because there just haven't been enough hours in my days lately. By the time I am able to get all my chores and errands done, time is only left for work, dinner, and bed. But I made the commitment to post something every day, so I have been, they just have been shorter. I don't see myself having a lot of time in the next week to really dig into a topic, but I will continue to keep up with my promise of posting for 365 days.

Day 110- Celebrate Good Times

Today was my first day of training at my new job. I built up in my head that it was going to be much more overwhelming and difficult than it actually was. I do have a lot to learn, but I think I can handle it, which is comforting.

Tonight both my family and friends are taking me out to celebrate. So, off I go.

Day 109- I'm A Little Nervous

Tomorrow I start training for my new job. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous. I hope I do well, I hope I understand things, I hope nothing goes too wrong, and I hope I handle all the changes well.

One thing that has helped me is the fact that I know being nervous is completely normal. Anyone in my position would be nervous. I just can't let my nerves take over. In order to do this I will do one thing that really helps calms my nerves... cuddle with my dog Tyson! (It's been way too long since I talked or posted a picture of him).

Day 108- Changes Are A Coming

I mentioned yesterday how today could be a big change for me, and it was. I had a job interview and was offered the job even before I left. So thank you if you sent any well wishes my way yesterday.

Not only is getting a new job exciting, but it is allowing me to cross off another bucket list item!

24.) Get a job out of retail.

Day 107- Big Changes

Tomorrow could mean some big changes for me. I don't want to say exactly what it is just yet in case it doesn't come through, but I have a favor to ask in the mean time from everyone. Whether it's fingers crossed, prayers, or good vibes you believe in, please send them my way!

The weird thing is that a lot can change for me tomorrow, and I'm not too nervous or anxious about it. I know I'll get more anxious as I am waiting for the results, but I'm actually pretty relaxed. I know many others in my position would be super stressed, but since I've started this process I've really learned who I am and I know what I'm capable of. And if it doesn't work out I know God has a different place that he wants me to be...I just hope where I want to be matches up with where he wants me to be.

Day 106- We Got a First Timer

Today I went to Hurricane Harbor with my family to celebrate my eldest niece's birthday. My dad came with us and it was his first time ever going to this water park, and I think he was a little nervous. The day though, turned out really fun. It was great to see my dad and nieces playing and laughing together. It was also great to just spend time with my dad. I had a great conversation with my sister-in-law, and joked around with my brother and nieces. Overall, it was a great day.
