🐢 - I am hoping to be coming back to play starting today!!! No promises that I will be able to play everyday, but I hope to be able to at least gift my dear friends daily again!!! 😎😎😎

There have been some happy things that have been keeping me away for so long, but I had to get through a whole pile of 💩💩💩 first.

I returned to work last July a happier person after joining this AMAZING network of people here who helped remind me of all these skills that God had given me. Unfortunately, my inexperienced supervisor did not appreciate this "new" me, and I quickly realized that she did not bring out THE BEST in 😈😈😈, and that it was time to find another job. My Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's over 3 years ago, and he will likely pass away this year. The stress of my Dad's illness and the unhealthy work environment was enough to knock me over, so I took medical leave in the middle of October. I visited my two cute little nieces in Toronto, and I enjoyed a relatively stress-free life away from work. I was fully covered under my short-term leave benefits.

Back in August, I had planned a trip to Jamaica with a visit to Toronto to start my vacation. Continued strained relations with my brother made the visit to Toronto not as pleasant as it could have been. As well, a sickening realization of the lifestyle that my friend had signed up for when she married a Jamaican over 3 years ago made the trip to Jamaica not as pleasant as it could. 😈😈😈 made the best of a bad situation, and she still managed to have a good time.

I was ready to return to work, with the intention of quitting at the end of February. Life is too short to continue working with a negative person who focuses on the 10% that you are not doing well, instead of the 90% that you are. They decided to let me go instead of giving me the opportunity to show that I had learned about myself from the time that I was away.

One happy thing is that I purchased a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan in November. I have named him Tigues. He and I are going to have some AMAZING adventures this year.

My stress levels are nearly non-existent, and there can be no price tag put on feeling emotionally healthy.

I truly am the happiest that I have ever been, despite these difficult circumstances. 😈😈😈's future is looking so bright, that she's gotta wear shades. . . 😎😎😎
