I’m at work now, and I am so bored. It’s so slow on Sunday’s and I usually work alone (which I hate). But L is here cleaning up. She walked in today and said it looked like a tornado came through, and I would have to agree.
Today is such a beautiful day in Dallas… it’s absolutely perfect. Sadly, I don’t get off until 5, so I won’t get to enjoy it. Hopefully it will still be this lovely on Tuesday and Wednesday so I can spend my days off taking pictures and enjoying this odd winter climate.
Nothing is really going on in my life these past few days. Actually, there is a lot going on, a lot dealing with my photography and future plans. I’ve officially made the decision to go back to school and get my degree…. in photography. I really love it, and hell, why not make it my future. A little unconventional I know, but it’s what I want to do. It’s crazy because I am so nervous about telling my family. I guess I don’t feel like being judged, told that I am making a mistake. After all these years, they have never seen any of my work. Not one picture I have taken.
The other day, one of my customers came in, and took time out of her busy day to talk to me about all of it. She told me she believed in me, believed that I would be a great success. She said she could tell that it was something I loved doing, and that it wasn’t something that was just driving me on the outside, but something ingrained in me. She took time to look at some of my work online and my photography website which I relaunched this year. And then she encouraged me… encouraged me to keep going with it and to not give up. I wanted to give her the biggest hug - but I didn’t. But I am going to send her a thank you card and let her know how much her words meant to me.
I think it was that conversation that finally cemented things for me. Made me say, you know what, I’m going to do this. Besides, I just spent hundreds of dollars on books, magazine subscriptions and association dues. No going back now.
In other news, the ex wants to see me. Men are so weird.
All right, I’m going back to work.
