back in the game

I've been on the computer all day long. Not a bad thing, considering that my time was well spent working. Okay, there was some playing going on too. But not that much. Just a little... just enough playing to keep me sane when it came to the working.

As I worked (and played) today, I was reminded why it is that I love working from home: I love what I do. I love the craft industry. I love being inspired. I adore the people I work with. And I am just so happy that I made the decision to jump back into the game. Honestly, I feel like dancing around the room for the pure joy of feeling alive again. And the deadlines - I love them too. Love, love, love them. Because even though I am a procrastinator, deadlines excite me like nothing else does. Through the years, I have perfected procrastinating, and by doing so, I've learned to make procrastination work to my advantage. I've got it honed to a fine art. And when I have deadlines, I am fueled by adrenaline. I have missed that. I've missed it so very, very much. Maybe that means I'm an adrenaline junkie. Really... I don't care, because all I know is that right now, I am energized like I've not been in months. And I am liking this feeling.

There is only one thing that makes me crazy about working in this industry. One small, minute, teeny-tiny thing: secrets. I hate secrets. I can keep them, but they make me crazy. So that said, I'd have lots more to write about if there was not such a thing as confidentiality agreements. I've signed a few of them lately. And I'm really busy. And it bites that I can't say anything more about what is making me so happy, because it's all good stuff. Stuff that would be fun to share. Stuff that would make people smile. Stuff that is exciting, and new, and wonderful. Like I said... I hate secrets.

It feels so good to be back in the game. I think I made the right decision. It feels right. And that makes the work fun.

Secrets may make you crazy, but it sounds like what they are about is making you happy. Congratulations on your new phase. I am also a procrastinator, and work better under pressure and deadlines. Maybe it's a Kelly thing?

I'm so happy that you've found such joy in completing what you're working on. Deadlines . . .it's a love/hate relationship for me. I procrastinate, so I need the deadline. But I don't wanna HAVE a deadline!

I am so glad you have found yourself again. Can't wait to see what you are gonna do. You go girl!!!!!!

ok maybe I have mentioned this before but you so remind me of the mom from the cartoon the incredibles. I remember thinking that before but today I saw something incredibles at the store and I remembered again. Secrets stink I can't keep them and I hate knowing them because I know I can't.
