In fact, I even went so far as to write down all the lousy things that have happened. But, to be honest, it hasn't been nonstop doom and gloom. I've also put a number of good things on that list. One of the good things that happened is that I spent a good part of last evening at a friend's house. We got to talking about her experiences while working at a now defunct local department store. She had to take more than a little bit of flak from some of the customers because she was black. But she didn't let it get under her skin and stay there. She just kept right on going along. And did I mention that the store's management backed her 1,000%? So, people, keep things in perspective. Writing a balance sheet of pluses and minuses can be quite helpful.

During this time I'm doing great things. Portfolio edit, redesign, marketing, retool, etc. When my sabbatical is over, the ride is going to be great.
