the last few months

i always need a certain thought to hit my head. one thought that puts all other thoughts away. this thought is kindof an satisfaction/looking back thought. let's backtrack.

i wanted to work with design. my frustrations with the stagancy of my life (6.5 years at starbucks, 6 years at college....so on), i needed a change. i tried to bridge my life by doing freelance work while i was in college and at starbucks. that wasnt much at all, it ended up being my volunteer work for vintage faith. i wanted more clients, i was never satisfied.

then i get this job, move to santa cruz, that is great. but this thought i had today is that i was blessed in my freelance. i've been doing a nice job at it. i need to not always be frustrated, i need to think about where i am at, and this is what makes me happy today.

i am gloating a bit. but i am not really too proud of my work normally, so i can gloat today.

in the last few months i made (in freelance / madebybrian.com style):
2 cds
1 logo
2 wedding invitations
almost done with a website
1 book cover / interior layout
lots of little things

i think i just need to be thankful right now, as i am usually unhappy or mildly bitter about where i am at in life.
