Day 20: Sassy and Smiling

I've been in a funk for the last few months.  For the most part, I've become adept at wearing a mask of happiness (or at least complacency).  If you know me well enough, you'll see the ribbons that are holding that mask in place.  If you're one of the hundreds who ask, "How are you?" without 1. actually caring, or 2. waiting around long enough to hear the answer, you'll never notice that it's all a front.

A few people have called me out on it (Porky, you're one of them - which shocks me, because you don't know me all that well), but for the most part, I've been able to fool the masses.  Keeping my head above water, but treading water like a mad-man underneath.

I'm not going to get into what's made me feel the way I felt.  Again, if you know me, you'll know what I've been through.

But let me say this.  Things are starting to turn around.  I feel like I'm finally in the driver's seat again, and am the captain of my own happiness.  That's fantastic.  Absolutely fantastic.

I'm footloose and fancy free...sassy and smiling (and haven't stopped for two days).

And I'm thankful for that :)
