At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile.

First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to write such heartfelt comments yesterday. You guys are very sweet and I feel very lucky to have so many voices of reason ready to jump in when I need it.
I'm not gonna say my issues are magically fixed, because of course they aren't. Wouldn't life be fabulous if that was the way it worked? But today was a pretty damn good day for me, and I'm feeling much happier and just generally positive. I got a handful of new matters to work on at work, including one that was previously being handled by another attorney, but was removed from him and given to me because my boss feels better with it in my hands. Which makes me feel pretty good. So I'm busier, which means I'm earning more money, which solves one of my major sources of anxiety right now. I also got my first paycheck from the new job today. Thank god! Funny how uplifting that can be.
Anyway, I'm in a good mood. I figured I'd express that as best I could in my shot today. I hope the rest of you had a great Thursday too. Big, virtual hugs all around.
