Bad Day Turned Good

So my day today started out pretty shitty. Felt useless and unproductive until lunch time, then came home for a lunch that wasn't very good only to go back to work and do things I didn't want to do. At some point during the day I kinda gave myself a pep talk and it's amazing how much better I felt afterwards. I had to give my boss a presentation and I was soooo nervous about it. I shouldn't have been, I knew the information like the back of my hand, but I was scared shitless. He helped me through it and told me just to talk, to tell a story instead of reading a script and my whole mood suddenly shifted and I felt such a sense of relief. I guess the fact that he acknowledged my feeling of anxiety and accepted that I was only human helped me calm down. Anyway, I am now in a great mood and now I can't shake my smile :-D I have also decided to go ahead full force with my desire to learn graphic design and I am overly excited about it!!! I am going to start taking seminars at this local computer resource center. It's a big investment for me, my first big investment, but it's pretty exciting that I know it will have a positive, long lasting effect on my life. I got the O.K. from my boss to have a few days off when I need them to take these classes and I can't wait to get started. The next step is finding a way to get the very expensive programs that I will need to develop my skills and practice at home. All very exciting!!
