In the middle

I’m feeling all the symptoms of being right in the middle of a project. It is not quite as new and exciting as it was just a week ago and it doesn’t look like it will be finished soon. As I work on all the pieces at once, I’m currently stuck in “the ugly phase” for all of them. Which is fine. It is just a mental game to feel comfortable in a place where there is no proof it will eventually work out.

I have to say, I’m actually really enjoying this style of working, where I plan the journey out at the beginning, I have a clear deadline and then see if I can or cannot make it work. But as with everything, there are highs and lows and those can happen several times in one day.

Yesterday I finally edited and submitted an assignment for my Level 4 in Social Media and Digital Marketing course at the local college. I didn’t know how much of my mental energy this was draining until it was finished and gone. Even though I might never really use the qualification, I’m glad I did it and that it is over now. I also managed to get a very productive meeting yesterday and prepare yet another (small-ish) project that I will tell you about as soon as I have a bit of time to sit down and write. As it is not my project, I waited until the first announcement went public. And it did!

So from the land of not knowing and making just one step at a time, I’m sending you all the love and optimism I can find. And I’m going back to the bench, those stone settings won't make themselves, right?

P.S.: I’m loving how the aquamarines look like water drops in tiny containers. They are just so lovely!
