Slow going, but getting better
It's been a slow week. Work has largely been of the maintenance variety, which never excites me. I like getting into new things. I actually had to hold myself back yesterday from taking on a new project. I wanted to investigate a new revenue source, but decided I had enough priority projects to keep me busy. I'll fit in this revenue source eventually—when the time is right.
A good bunch of maintenance stuff is out of the way now, though, and I'm starting to see a little more color to my work—and a little more optimism. It's funny how easy it is to let a colorless period of work affect attitude. I realized today that I have been dwelling a lot lately on things lost—old friends I have lost track of, times of my life that are now past.
But upon realizing that today, I started thinking about how small the failures I've been dwelling on have been and how many great things happened in my life during those same times. And there's a lot yet to accomplish.
