Everything old is new again

Wednesday, June 22, 2005

A few recent disappointments. I resigned from Laumeier and I cancelled the Potato Eaters show at Mad Art. Actually, both of these decisions have left me with an extreme sense of relief. I know they were good decisions. I guess I'm disappointed that I didn't listen to my instincts from the beginning. If I had, I wouldn't have committed to either. I have to constantly remind myself that even though I'm capable of something, doesn't mean I necessarily need to take it on. So, after 2-1/2 years, I'm returning to Daugherty Systems. I'll be working a 4-day week so I can still maintain my involvment at Mad Art Gallery and with Art Outside. Plus, I'm hoping to work more on my own painting and writing. My Daugherty job will involve the things I'm best at and really enjoy--content development and program development and management.

I've had several relatives and friends experience major medical setbacks lately. These things remind me again, of how important it is to live a life where joy happens daily and to live a life true to my personal values.
