I'm still keeping up with everything but the exercise part.

It seems to be working well. I do feel much better than I was feeling in early December - which was beyond awful, possibly the worst I've felt in many years. But I think I'm actually feeling better that I felt before I sunk into that depression in December. I mean I feel better than my former 'normal.' I seem to have a bit more energy. Not a lot but some.

I've been complaining about my job for years but feeling really trapped there. Then suddenly last week, I thought, "I could find a different job." And I felt just really hopeful about it. Not like in the past where I felt either really desperate or just hopeless. So, my goal is to be working at a different job by the end of 2013. And it feels doable. That's a huge change in my attitude.

My son has commented on it, but he sees it as me being 'distant.' I'm thinking maybe less reactive is more like it. It's interesting that he's seeing it as something to worry about, and I'm feeling really content. I wonder if it's a case of when you change the people around you have to adjust to the new you and they're not sure they like it much. Sometimes people do want to keep you in your 'role.'

I can't wait to see how it goes when I get that exercise piece in place. I definitely think that will help.
