Yesterday was pretty awesome

On Thanksgiving day you sit down with all your family, you call all your friends and through these actions you remember what you have. This year has been rather rough for me and my daughter, yet this Thanksgiving I realized we had become richer in love then we had ever been allowed to be, before. She had a rough time because she realize this too, but her dad wasn't in the picture to share or even be counted as one who loves you and returns the love. I talked to him about at least a phone call and next holiday I suppose we will see where his head is.
I realized something else in the last few weeks. I am a pretty good graphic artist. I have just been looking around and I realized I do have talent and vision and that it was being stifled by my ex. As a graphic artist you don't get paid by the hour, you generally get paid by the project. As you do more projects you develop a library and ability to make the next project go faster. He didn't understand and also thought that he should tell me how to improve my art. So between fighting about rather or not I am wasting my time and fighting about how I am not going to move the circle over 3/4 of an inch it became more hassle then it was worth. Now however I have a person in my life who believes in me and doesn't question. Yes, he worries but I don't think he is literally losing sleep.
Yesterday I dropped my daughter off at her dad's house, quit my job, took a 3 hour nap and then ate someone's delicious home cooked dinner it was a great day all around. I am going back to focusing on the blog. I am also going to be doing more graphic art then ever. I am so excited. I am one of those people who dream about their work. So, I have been dreaming of how to troubleshoot phones and now I'll be dreaming in art again. I've been on this little laptop because we haven't really found/decided on a good place for my computer. We have now and it will be all set-up tonight. I am very excited to be living my dream and to be given support and breathing room to do it on my own. Everyday I am thankful for the life I have now that was born from one of the worst moments of my life.
