Trying To Be Happy

It’s hard to be me sometimes. I’m terribly positive on the outside, while recently on the inside, I’m questioning everything. For such a confident, self-assured person, I’m certainly over-thinking and over-analyzing everything these days.

When so much change happens all at once, I suppose that anyone would be stressed. I’ve decided to just let life calm down for a while — I’m going to relax and accomplish my work, see my friends, and try to enjoy my boyfriend’s company when we have time together. My goal is to not spend too much time thinking about anything that has already happened, but to look forward and see the exciting possibilities that lie ahead of me. I’m going to be happy, dammit. I know that to truly enjoy what life has to offer, one needs some crappy things to happen but I’m not dwelling anymore.

I’m quite busy with work this week, which is great. I’m almost done one project that is taking a bit longer than originally anticipated, but the results are better than I expected they would be, and some things that I learned for this client came easier than I thought they would. That’s always nice! I look forward to embarking on a re-design for a client that I have been bugging for months. They need a serious overhaul, and I think I’ve finally got them to realize that it’s important to have a fresh look every once in a while. (read: I’ve been updating someone else’s design, and I really dislike the work this company did on the site). I also have the opportunity to update a banking site that I did quite a while ago, and I’m looking forward to freshening up this high-profile client’s web presence, too!

Enough about work! I saw some fun bands on Saturday night (my favourite was “The Orchid Highway”), and I was delighted that my brother and his girlfriend could make it out to “Amped Up” at the Anza Club with the gang. My brother’s girlfriend is a complete nut, and she was a hit with the rest of the croud that made it out with us. She is definately someone that can keep up with my brother — I never thought such a person existed until she came along a little over a year ago. That night, even though my boyfriend and I were getting over a serious argument from the previous evening, we managed to enjoy our time out together to see some live music.

Call me a workaholic, but I think I’m going to work the rest of the night and get ahead on some of this backlog from last weeks’ upheaval in living quarters. Have a great night, and thanks for visiting!
