Well, 2007 was an interesting year. I was off work for almost half the year because of both my dislocated elbow and eye surgery. Yes, I admit having that time off was nice at times, but miserable at others as well. My eye is healing very well and I won't see the Dr. for another 6 weeks. But here I am, back to work and actually doing just fine and thank God for that and getting me through it all. You know, the more trials I go through in life, the more my confidence grows in knowing that everything is going to be okay, that God is going to get me through it. He always has, and He always will, I just know it. There's been times in life when I've had NO money at all, whether I lost my job or just came up really short, and yet the Lord has a way of getting me through. In the midst of it, yeah I'm freaking out! lol But I look back and realize that He knew it was coming and was ready to provide for me and for me to learn something in the process. He's awesome! Only by His wonderful grace do I even deserve that kind of treatment.
So, my boss went to an all-day seminar today so it's just us three. (His wife is actually asleep right now in our little break area. lol) Yeah, not too much happening here right now. My other coworker is out to lunch. He usually goes running or exercises during lunch. Not a bad idear. I usually take a walk around this lake nearby, which is nice when I'm sitting down all day, but it's not always like that. We have a few little jobs this week but not too much yet. We've been discussing ways of getting more business in lately. Sometimes I almost feel guilty (not that I sit there in shame or anything) that I'm even getting paid what I get paid when the owner isn't profiting as of yet or even breaking even. But, that IS the risk you take when opening a new business, and it would be awefully hard to get to that point without a designer such as myself in the picture so, we're just crossing our fingers. lol No we're working hard to get business and I myself am praying that we'll get more work in. Hopefully it will all come together this year.
Speaking of crossing your fingers, did you ever stop to think how silly that sounds? When someone says 'I'll cross my fingers', what exactly does that mean? Like crossing fingers brings some kind of mystical, magical spirit of favor or help. I mean, have you ever said 'Guess what! I got the job! Thanks sooo much for crossing your fingers for me!' lol I'd rather hear someone say 'good luck' than tell me they're crossing their fingers for me. Anyways, I could go on and on about how silly and absurd that is. Perhaps it's superstition, but I think I'll do a little research on that term and post it later.
As a side note, we went to Vince's Spaghetti on Sunday for lunch to celebrate my brother's and his girlfriend's birthday. It was nice, only about six of us, just family. And it was pretty good too. In fact, I ate so much for lunch that I wasn't hungry for dinner that night! lol And I wasn't even that full either. I guess spaghetti does that. =)
