So long 2007--it's been real.

Well, here it is, the last day of 2007--and not a moment too soon. This past year has been a definite disappointment to me in a lot of ways. Of course, that's mostly my fault--I need to work harder and do more (or at least actually accomplish more). I seemed to be just a bit behind everything...a bit overwhelmed or caught off guard.
I spent too much time and energy bitterly complaining about things I have no control over and not enough time conquering things I SHOULD have control over. So, for 2008 my goal seems clear and my motto needs to be:
"DEAL WITH IT!"
I have commissions that need to get finished--I need to DEAL WITH IT!
I have comics I need to do, no to mention portfolio work so I can get new Magic:TG work--I must DEAL WITH IT!
I have art to do for upcoming cons that I want to get back into going to--I've got to absolutely DEAL WITH IT!
There's a new direction I intend to take with reguards to my furry work, a mythos I want to adopt and illustrate, and to do that I need to sit down and DEAL WITH IT!
So, that's the plan for 2008. I will just stop whining and feeling worried and overwhelmed and I will DEAL WITH IT!
Starting tomorrow. ^0^

It's beautiful...

Good idea! :)
But like Damaratus said: there are always people around willing to help :)
Just picture me singing that in a curly red wig.

Exquisitely fantastic. I wish you all the best in the coming year. And I recommend that you do what I did last year. Flint Otterhall taught me this little ceremony and it worked absolutely beautifully.
Take a glass of champagne and raise it up, toast out the old year and all of the bad that came with it. Accept it, forgive it, and forgive yourself. Give your goals for the New Year form and substance by speaking them aloud, bringing them into clear focus in your mind (honestly, that should be done each day). Drink down the champagne and shatter the glass.
As I said, I did this last year (it had been a rather poor year) and this past year has been quite nice.
I do have one thing I would warn you about, though...you said that you've felt behind, caught off-guard......then why wait until tomorrow to set your plans in motion? Why wait at all?
Start now.
*whipcrack* now, more rocketship rodents!
Still *LOVE* the x-mas card this year. yum yum ;)
But i might move to Canada if any of the present group from either side gets elected, then again Australia was always a posibility...mad max land and bar-b-que shrimp, plus 16 different kinds of poisonous snakes, ...Canada hoe!
or just start a new political party; Furry Pansexual People's party, the platform is we vote against all lawyers and democrats, (lobbists) and anybody that supports the continued existance of the IRS.
Or i'll just vote that way, Clinton broke ALL of his campaign promises, his wife is not going to be any different. Huckabee is a religious fundamentalist not presidential becacuase he is far too biased, and wants to combine church and state.
And i should try and pet that spot that little werepuppys wag thier tails a lot for, so i'm rubbing and scratching that spot in effigy, ...so they can deal with it.
Now everybody go pet your puppy, (or plushie) thinking of Deathpuppy so that by sympathetic magic he gets his strokes and the impetus to do more than just deal with it. Happy New Year Pup. *stroking...scratching....massaging...!* Happy Dealing with it.
