the beauty and the mess
So I found stumbled upon this restaurant called Merge (www.merge.com). It's on Delaware downtown Buffalo, It's a vegetarian restaurant but looks really good. the real reason i'm excited about it is because every month they put up artwork by local artists, each month has a different theme. So I will be happy if one of these times i get to showcase my artwork in a restaurant and then maybe someone will buy it :) (Merge would get 15% of the sale) but it makes me happy to know that I can simply send a few pictures and put my stuff up :)
Also I had coffee with Jackie tonight and I was talking about jobs and she was telling me about where she works (Autistic Services). She told me that they do art there, so there could potentially be a job somewhere in there where i would facilitate the learning of art to Autistic adults.... awesome right?! that would be an amazing job.
When I think about my "Dream Job"... I honestly don't have one. sometimes i just say random things and pretend that it would be my dream job, but i have no idea. I think its because I can see myself doing a lot of things that only doing one thing wouldn't make me happy. But I know that I enjoy helping people, making a difference. and I also love art. So I think my dream job would include those things.
feeling a little bit better about life right now, I got to paint a few days ago which made my heart happy :) i think i just need to spend less time doing nothing on the computer and more time doing things I love. I was talking to Lauren the other night about how i need to manage my time better and i said maybe I should wake up earlier and she said no! don't wake up earlier, you do your best at night, stay up later and do stuff. It's not you to do stuff in the morning. I'm glad she knows me so well and knocked some sense into me :)
what am I learning in life right now? how to find joy. everyday is a challenge for me, wake up, go to work, yell at kids, drive home, eat dinner, watch tv, sleep. there's not much to be happy about. I need to constantly remind myself that my life could be so much worse, I have a job, a car, food. i so often forget that there is actually a lot to be joyful about, but i get so wrapped up in the little bad things during my day.
so this is me being joyful: I love that there is finally snow and that our christmas tree is up and I get to sing christmas carols at the top of my lungs while driving. I'm happy that all my christmas shopping was done in October. i love Christmas. I'm joyful that I have amazing friends that I can call on whenever. I'm happy that i have my own room. I'm happy knowing that God is in control of my future.
remember. remember. remember.
