making up ones mind and such...

hmmm... so this might sound silly since I was so dead set on living near the ocean last month, but I am human... and we tend to change our minds regularly. Therefore... I have decided that I am going to put off Victoria for a while. Me and my stubbornness were not really listening to ANYONE (including the little voice inside my head) when they told me I might be making the wrong choice. But, I have come to see things a little more clearly this past week and it will definitely be to my own benefit if I stay closer to home this year. Victoria will still be there when I am ready.

So now I am looking for a job. Hopefully something in or related to the arts. It would be wonderful to find something in a gallery but I am not really getting my hopes up. I have been looking pretty much everywhere - Ottawa, Toronto and area, Kitchener, Barrie, etc. - I won't be picky about the place if I can find a good job. I have also been looking at calls for submissions. I think this year will be a good year to focus on making art and trying to get it "out there" as they say. Plus I have been collecting so much over the past 4 years that I need to do something with it!

I am slowly getting excited about the idea of staying here. It just feels right.
