The Art of getting by...

Hi everyone,

Last night i re watched The Art of Getting By and decided that the soundtrack may be my personal summer soundtrack to life. Every track on it feels like it has been written personally for me (it obviously hasn't, but that is just how it feels.)

My life seems to have flipped around recently, one of my friends from when i was fourteen up until the age of twenty two i had the pleasure of knowing passed away. This was a tough time for my friends and i, and out of this horrible experience we all came together again to be friends as adults. This brought with it a lot of emotions and feelings that i really didn't even want to re surface, but they did and i dealt with them and do you know what? They worked out really well. Something that i had been really scared of facing for years finally happened and i realized i had nothing at all to be scared of.

It's been a tough time i will admit that, and it has been reflected in my blog posts, the few that i have been able to bring myself to write. I would just like to say i have turned a corner and inside my head now i am more at peace with a lot of things, and i feel i have grown as a stronger person. I have re connected relationships with friends that i hadn't spoken to in years and they have became so dear to me. I have started putting aside so much time to spend with family and friends, we are only here once and i don't want to miss a second!

I have really exciting news! Today i received some amazing news, i have just got a new job finally :) Thanks to my sister Sarah, who is a superstar!!! I start next Friday. I handed in my notice at my work today and i really was very scared and i felt so bad, but it's done now and it's something else off my 2012 checklist :)

Next weekend i will be travelling the seven hours down to Peterborough to go visit James. I am so excited!!! In the whole time we have known each other two months has been the longest we haven't seen each other and it has been really hard. My new job involves working Mon to Fri, so i will have every weekend off which means if James and i want to see each other we can :) Which is amazing. Everything has dramatically improved. Only six or so shifts left at my work, but i bet you they are the hardest. Oh well it's all pay at the end of the day and i don't have to do such long hours anymore. And maybe my leg will finally start to heal :)

This has been a bit of a heart felt post. Sorry for the heart spilling, sometimes you really just need to get things off of your chest. Some craft fair blog posts will be posted sometime this week.

I hope everyone is well :)

Love Katy
