I've been going through a personal good patch lately, so I'm doing well.
I recently left my old job which had been stressing me and making me miserable and destroying my mental health. The new job is a lot less stress and a lot more of the work I deeply enjoy doing, so I've been enjoying it. For the first time in ages I'm not dreading the fact that Sunday is almost over and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm thankful.
I just finished an art piece that I've wanted to make for a while. It's loosely inspired by "Ocean Limited" by Alex Coleville (more the technique and feeling than contet), but it's based on an ontario marsh that I just could not get out of my head for a couple weeks. I'm not a master artist by any stretch, but it's good enough that when I look at the picture my head goes right there, and that makes me happy.
Today I've just been relaxing, so I'm happy right now.
I'm happy for you ๐ Congratulations on the piece, and the new job!
