Lipstick

I am going to try to declare myself "well".  I don't know if it will work, but I'm giving it my best shot.  Am I 100%?  No.  Am I feeling better than I was a couple of months ago?  Yes.  Sometimes.  I feel like I'm on a good path for wellness finally.  It's not perfect.  There are still things that might have to be tweaked or changed or whatever, but I feel like it's a good starting point.  Before, there was no starting point.  Just waiting.  And chaos.  What sparked the change in attitude?  Before there were just sweats, t-shirts, naps, no make-up, bad hair days.  The other day I actually put on lipstick.  I mean like real lipstick, not lip balm or gloss.  The dark, raspberry-colored lipstick I've always worn.  Plum Wine.  And then I even put a layer of gloss over top.  I took that as a good sign.  The fact that I actually felt like fixing myself up to go out of the house.  I'm going to let it represent my ascent back into the real world.  My return to normalcy.  I'm going back to work on August 2.  It's going to be a new chapter.  I'm comin' back, baby!  Ready or not!
