Word of the Day

The word of the day is Content. Content in that I am content with my work for now, at this point. Content, as in content in my daily life, for now, as it goes along, and I feel thankful that I am employed and we are doing OK. Content, as in the content of something; that which is contained in; the content and how the content is part of what I do, what I manage, what I must go through. Content with the content. Does that make sense? It does to me...but then I am writing it. Content. Happy. Content. That which is contained within. Both and each, different and in relation to each other. Content. The word of the day.

I Love Designing

I thoroughly love designing. I recently completed a logo for a competition. It was a fun project and I felt satisfied in the challenge of it. I think I can expand my creative mind by taking on occasional projects, even if it is just for the sake of doing the work itself. The reward is the expression of color and form and line to attain a certain outcome...that is the challenge, and that challenge is always a tough one. But it reminds me that it is not always about the outcome, but in the doing, that we gain and learn, and feel the creative energy stirring.
