Happy

I went to dinner last night with a group of friends. As we sat around talking, as we do, a friend of mine turned to me and said, "You look happy." Earlier in the evening we had discussed the stresses of our jobs, his current and my former, and the change I had made. He is, where I was, in mindset...he is burned out. I know job dissatisfaction is common, but burned out is different, it's...malignant. Demoralizing. Detrimental. I felt my lifespan slipping away from the daily stress, felt sick from it. My husband concurs that he could see it in me. I am glad there is something new to see. Glad I look happy. Glad I am happy.
