I got my son enrolled in a virtual school so he can move back home. It will be nice to not be living alone anymore. I miss both my Teenagers. My daughter still does not want to live here but she is looking good and I see her self confidence increasing.

I have a meeting with my academic adviser tonight to get my classes set up. I already did an introductory course. I am so excited about school! It will be nice to learn new things and exercise my brain a bit.

I haven't done much for art lately but I have been creative in other areas of my life. I am happy right now. Things are going well in my corner of the world.

I recently got rejected by a person I had a crush on. When I was young my whole world would have fallen apart. I would have sunk into depression and would have had myself a pity party. Now-a-days, that I am older, I look at the rejection as a blessing. I have no one to distract me from my school work. I discovered he is an abusive person when in his rejection told me to do the world a favor and off myself. I asked myself why do I gravitate to the nut cases lol. He was quite charming when I thought we were friends for many months. Then he admitted he had just been using me to get stuff. I felt a bit sad I admit but not for long. You just can't let people like that steal your joy away. I quit speaking with him but I do miss the days I thought we were friends. There is a bit of a letting go process but he made it easier by being such a jerk. He also told me I am a horrible artist. I never claimed to be a good artist. I just do art because I love art. So yeah someone did try to drag me down but I am still happy with the changes in my life and you know what I am glad a person like that didn't want me I deserve someone who is loving, gentle, and caring. Not some person who defines friendship in a story book manner where your friends aren't allowed to make mistakes and have faults. So yeah I am happy today, I can laugh, play, and make real and new friends each day.
