A snowflake is winter's butterfly.
So I have these ideas swirling around in my head for these website buttons I'm making for a freelance job and more . The new look of the site/branding if you will, has the image of a butterfly tying it all together. Now I've got butterflies on the brain. I often forget how pretty they are!

quote of the day
Found over at the lovely http://kindovermatter.blogspot.com/
Fortune:
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall"
Simply put, this is why I love the blog world. I needed a message just like this today.

Yes to friends tonight
Yes, I am grateful.
For I have a full-time job.
Sometimes I want more.
Nice haiku? Sound silly? In an economy like today's do I sound selfish? I think I have the outta-college-for-six-months-now-and-this-real-world-thing-isn't-out-of-this-world-amazing thoughts rattling around in my brain these days. I like my job, most of the time. I like Syracuse, most of the time. There are those days where I'm like, "I love my life," and others where I'm like, "Is this really my life?" I find those more negative thoughts being thought when my alarm forces me to roll out of my comfy warm bed early Monday mornings in particular.
I think college spoils us. It allows us to "work" on what we love doing/hope to pursue, while also sleeping in till noon, and having more social opportunities than one knows what to do with.
I'm catching myself being bitter (again), and I know I need to turn this frown upside-down. But how? Maybe I'm just expecting myself/putting too much pressure on myself to adjust much quicker to this 8-5, M-F thing than a person realistically will. I never have had enough patience.
Yes to friends tonight.
Be grateful for what you have.
Smile and be happy.

Thankful
I am thankful for a great long weekend home with family. It was hard to leave!
This holiday was extra special because family (aunt, two cousins) were able to make it to New York from Colorado. I enjoyed sleeping in, eating well, and just being entertained by family. I always enjoy having lots of people around, and sometimes miss that back in Syracuse.
I'm looking forward to December and trying to get myself pumped up for the holiday season. I'm looking forward to trying to plan more social things to do before the new year, hopefully figuring out some fun New Years plans, and settling into my new routine at my new place.
I've been trying to live by the, "Do what makes you happy," mantra lately. With the emphasis on Do, not just think about doing. Forget people who judge, people who are negative - I want to be happy.
