it's funny what can make you feel productive. for my mom, it's cleaning the house. i have to admit, i don't feel half bad about myself when my room is clean (number one, yes i'm aware that that sounds like something a 13 year old might say and number two, wow it is SO messy right now. in fact, i have to get on it, or i won't get my allowance for this week ;) )
i mean, in college, it was easy - you write a paper and look at the bulk of it and think "damn. i'm so amazing. how did i manage to churn out 18.5 pages about how the jazz movement affected and reflected the civil rights movement?"
now that i've entered the working world, does that mean that feelings of accomplishment only come around twice a month (hellooooooo - pay day! )
no. you have to learn to feel accomplished about the little things. like when i finish writing this entry and see it posted, it will for some strange reason, make me feel good about myself. i think it has something to do with leaving your mark around for other people to see. like if there's physical proof that you've done something, then you're allowed to be proud of it.
i'm going to start being proud of stuff you can't see. i'll make a list though, so everyone knows what it is :)
