I am not the world's most positive person! I try to be optimistic but then something comes along that shakes me up and it's back to being Debbie Downer. I admit it and recognize it as one of my character flaws. It's one of the many reasons why I'm such a worrier and explains why I try hard not to set myself up for disappointment. It's pretty hard to have an attitude like this and work to start your own freelance business!
The disappointment factor is always there so you better be prepared that it can hit you at any moment. I've been lucky that I've always found new avenues of work when others fell through, but there are days that it can just get to me. Today was one such day where I was sure that I had a project in the bag and then it felt as if it was snapped out from under me. Is this a reason to get down and feel frustrated? To some maybe not, but to me it's hard not to give into it. I am trying to turn this energy around into an appreciation for the good things and less of a focus on the negative. It's hard but I'm a work in progress--aren't we all?!
I also find that it's pretty hard to stay down or upset when I look at Faith. I see her crawling around and ranting something in her own baby language and it immediately puts a smile on my face. That's another reason why being home with her is amazing, she can turn a bad mood into a good one instantly! So yes even those who feel lucky all the time do get down from time to time--we are human after all! Let's just hope it was one of those days and that I'll be back in the game tomorrow.
