I have been feeling better this past week or so, and it has me feeling something I haven't felt in I-don't-know-how-long. Maybe hopeful isn't quite it - it's more like cautiously optimistic. For years, my husband and I have gone round and round about me not having anything particular in my life that makes me happy. I don't do really anything outside of what has to get done to make the family work and one outside activity that is also essentially family-based.

In the past couple of days, I've really started thinking about how to find something that makes me feel fulfilled and happy to do. While I don't know what it is yet, for the first time I'm...cautiously optimistic...that I will find something. It feels good.
