Someone wise once told me that just because you hit rock bottom, doesn't always mean "there's no where to go but up". You don't just hit the bottom for a split second and zoom right back up. Sometimes you have to hang out there at the bottom, or travel along in that dark cave. What's important is that you keep moving forward, rather than wallowing. Eventually, you will see the light- it might be at the end of the tunnel. But you'll get there, and start that climb out.
Oh and by the way...MY SYMPATHIES FOR ANYONE WHO'S EVER HAD TO HAVE WISDOM TEETH REMOVED.
I had to get mine out about a week and half ago, and all four at once. All impacted - for those of you that dont know what that means- really hard to get out and super painful! I also am super poor and could only afford the very least amount of medicine for the procedure. Which meant I was awake the entire time and still had feeling in my mouth!!! Most people get fully knocked out for the surgery, if that tells you anything. I had horrible pain for an entire week (most people= 2-3 days) and am only now getting back to a solid diet. I still miss apples and nuts, but those hurt too much!
Ouch ouch. I am so glad that's over. I can't wait for my teeth to stop being sensitive and I can turn my electric toothbrush on. And not have stitched up holes in my mouth!!
I also went to Alabama for my little sister's high school graduation. Another sweet sweet reminder of how old I'm getting.
Oh I had an interview for a job...that went horribly. The company interviewed me and at the end of the interview told me ..." oh, by the way...we already filled the position you applied for...but how do you feel about SALES?"
I'll tell you how I feel about sales. Not what I want to do. I'm also not down with dishonest interviews that I traveled 2 hours for!!! Grrr
In other news- some personal breakthroughs for me lately. God is trying to teach my stubborn self some lessons- and I'm trying to listen. Weirdly enough, a Natasha Bedingfield song is quite fitting. Time for bed!

that sucks about the wisdom teeth. i had to get all of mine surgically removed before they'd break the skin b/c they would have jacked my teeth all up. so i feel your pain but i hate that you had to suffer! but now you're like super tough, right?
and shady job interviews suck.
that God fella is pretty cool huh? i'm right there with you, trying to listen.
glad you posted. hope you have a good week!
i just read your dentist torture..a while ago i had two wisdom teeth which were impacted...that hurt but thats nothing compared to 4...ouch!
sometimes hitting bottom is lesson on it own it quite humbling dont you think? didnt have a bad experience with my wisdom teeth guess i got lucky but i do remember when my lip was numb that was annoying
