Yes, it is Monday and I am planning on having an amazing week. In my brief time reading these darn self-help books I have found that a lot of them purport that if I act 'as if' then I shall be. Basically, if I act happy I will be happy. Do I sound as if I have joined a cult? Perhaps the cult of positive thinking. I decided to give it a shot. I am pretty optimistic and motivated by nature but my current job situation had taken a lot out of me, (I am giving it past tense because I won't let it get me down any longer). I have made it my mission to try to focus on all the good things about my job and how I will make my move to not having one (but still be able to pay for my basics and then some). I have quite a few ideas brewing, which in the hands (or brain) of a person as impetuous as myself could be dangerous but if there is anything I have learned in my short time in office society it is patience.
One thing I believe is that if I do something creative each day I feel better about having to be under fluorescent lights for 12 hours at a time. Some of you that know me outside of the blog are scratching your heads because my job is 'technically' creative. I write, I design, I am now the staff photographer (oh how it sounds so good on 'paper', right?). I don't count this as my doing something creative, I guess I should re-word that --doing something creative for yourself each day. I have been pow wowing with a couple of Souvenir Foto School students about doing a SFS 30 day photo challenge. We haven't decided on doing it yet or if we will just be doing our usual 6 week courses but we will be doing another Souvenir Foto School session sooner than later and I am hoping you will join me. Even though I stress out about adding another task to my never ending to-do list, I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I upload that photo and a small thrill when my peers give me positive feedback. I know that people say they get this same sense of accomplishment from exercising and gosh knows I need to start a regime a.s.a.p. but let's not get crazy now, one task at a time...
P.S. I need to get photo credit for this lil' fuzzy, I will.
