The number one motivator in my life right now is getting our family healthy and on the right track. Not only is that the motivation for every decision I am making, but it is the entire focus of life. It is time for life to start looking the way I had always imagined. The really cool part.....? I actually do get to live my dream life. Who would have ever thought that was possible? How many people get to honestly say that?
Daniel is on the path to health, I am as close to being healed as I am going to get, and now we are in a "new chapter of life" (as Daniel's psychiatrist described it Saturday). We are learning how to handle day-to-day issues in the way responsible woulds without the lens of depression or hypomania (or in my case trying to balance these views and still face life as part of a couple who is married and needing to make decisions together). We have a LONG road ahead of readjusting. We've always kind of lived in a reactive state because we were constantly readjusting to Daniel's mood swings. Now we can actually make plans, follow routines, and have expectations for stability.

keeping you all in my thoughts...
I read 'overwhelmed' from yesterday, then I read todays post.
Hon, I don't know how the heck you keep putting one foot in front of the other.
What you are continually dealing with sucks big time and still you keep on keeping on. I know you hate hearing it but you are inspiring to all of us who visit here.
I'm not one iota religious but if it counts for anything I'm saying a prayer for you and yours because shit do you guys deserve a break sometime real soon
Hailary, thank you.
Fi, I really appreciate the prayer. I'm not at all religious, either, but at this point I'm thinking I'll take anything I can get! I guess I should have thought about what I had pre-posted before I published "Overwhelmed" yesterday. You can really see how I am struggling to keep a positive attitude, though, from one post to the next. Yes, we need a break. That's for sure!
I like your post & blog and I follow your blog for GFC. I am from Monday Mingle, I hope your visit!
Happy Week!

It's good to see you "recovered" from yesterday. I am very excited for you in regards to that first interview and I am keeping my fingers crossed for ya. Sounds like that is what you are looking for and you seemed really excited. Hope you get it!
Lemme know if I can do anything for ya to ease your frustrations.
You rock, by the way!
This all sounds very positive! If tomorrow isn't as positive, just remember things are on the right path....
