Hurry up and wait!

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Do you feel like you are always waiting for something?  I do. All the time!  I am not sure why I feel this way but seems like something important is about to happen, and when it does - That’s IT!  It’s all over - no more waiting!

Now we know that is not true - we wait for things to happen all the time, and then there’s more waiting after that!  We wait for the weekend, for a party, for a holiday, for the next pay day, for that great lottery win, for the cows to come home!

I get tired of waiting too. I guess saying is - stop waiting for things to happen! MAKE them happen! We why do we have to do that?  Things will just happen anyway - right?

I also have a hard time waiting for other people to get my task done. You know, sometimes you have something to do and it would be done already - if that person you rely one would just do the part they are supposed to. I guess I am a bit impatient here - not very calm when my task depends on others.

Patience is definately a learned task. People are not born with it - and it can take years to master. We all have to rely on the “waiting machine” with everything we do. We wait for the light to change, (now I have seen some VERY impatient people at lights!) we wait for service in restaurants, we wait in lines sometimes just to go to the bathroom.

Then - when we tire from waiting - we wish!  Ah- now that’s where we get into a great deal of trouble!  We wish they would all hurry up!

As my mom used to say - “Your going to wish your life away!”  Maybe I should just be comfortable waiting…

Graphic Designer No Longer “for hire”

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I am very excited about my new position with Blue Sand Design!  I have only been here for 3 months but I can already tell this will be a great adventure. Many jobs have crossed my path, some in design, some not, although I have always hoped for something just like this one to come along.  We should all be so lucky - to find a job that we enjoy.

I am in this one for the long haul - and will be posting to this area frequently.  Here I will attempt to include helpful hints about design, what it means to us, how we use it to increase business, freshen our websites and advertising, as well as what is “good design” vs “bad design”.  I will also interject items such as color theory, layout, and other elements and aspects of the design arena.

My expertise is in photography - so I may include some helpful information about how to use photography to liven up our design.

Please feel free to visit often and post comments if you like.

 Happy Designing!
