I’ve been so busy lately that my head spins when I lay down at night, trying to sleep. This is not a bad thing, per se, but just a new thing. It’s feast or famine for me and my business productivity – something to work on for the future. I am grateful for the feasts though, and I make an effort not to complain about having so many ways to make money that I can’t fit them all into a day or week. Other things I am grateful for:
- Cool students in my grant writing class
- Cookies, practically on demand.
- Learning how to evaluate grants.
- Long drives through rural Wisconsin with audio books from the public library in the radio and sunshine on the horizon
- Getting more article assignments. Interviewing strangers and having it go well.
- Another picture used in publication (this one accompanies an article I wrote). The high of seeing my words in print is more of a buzz these days – its really when I see photos I’ve taken published that I get all jazzed up. (See it here: http://fortemadison.com/ The Metal Work in Art photo.)
- The beginning of Holiday Party invites
- Cute new dress to wear to Bennett College, where I will be speaking on Thursday.
- Getting invitedto speak at Bennett on stage and in the classrooms
- Teamwork in a job search
- Chatting with mom today
- Carrots, apples, and almonds. My staples.
