New World

The excitement is like that of the night before first day of school ... fear, angst, trepidation ... all part of my day now. Will I be able to handle the schedule? Will anyone respond to my way? Will anyone even show up? Questions that haunt me as I take off on a new chapter in my life.

So, what's all the hub-bub about?

I have been here before but it has been a while. This is what I have been wanting -- the ability to do what I love most of all. So, why am I so freaked out? AUUUUGH!!!

Because basically I am a chicken. Yep, I said it. I am owning up to it! Now that I have said that, it seems better. Goes back to ... the truth will set you free!

I am frightened at the thought of going back to work at a real job, which is stupid since it isn't a run of the mill job. It's an ART job! Furthermore, a painting job. Even better -- a teaching to paint job!

It's all in my control.

I choose the hours. I choose the subjects to paint. I've been given carte blanche on the whole thing. So, why are my insides spazzing out about it? That's just how I roll.

I do know that it will be okay and when I get all my ducks in a row it will be amazing. This is my opportunity to make a place for myself in this little community. I made it into the paper shortly after moving back here to my home area because of my blog -- a small town girl comes home sorta thing! No big news, just human interest.

I would like to find myself smack in the middle of the artsy world here ... kinda what I would enjoy. I've always been the kind of person that if you lock me up in a cubicle, you will watch me dissolve! I hate it. I have left good jobs because of the boredom. Silly ME!

New World. Same me. But, I am thrilled at the prospect of teaching and helping people have some sense of creativity. It's a really good way to relieve stress and have fun so I hope I see some of my peeps someday along my way.

Or, maybe, I will influence some kid who has a dream to create but never felt like they could ... the sky's the limit I say!
