staying afloat

I managed to take the train downtown and take myself to a movie and for a little Christmas shopping as well as an impromptu dinner date with my fiance yesterday! I have been making a concerted effort to get out of the house every day and do something that will keep me in the world and interactive. Combat the loneliness. Do something energizing and fun.
I think it's working. I am starting to relax a little bit about the clouds coming back in to get me. I wake up and don't feel as bad. I have become interested in my art projects again. I even had a wonderful time wrapping presents and writing holiday cards last night. I can't believe it. I really hope things stay on this even keel. I am actually looking forward to the holiday...
