I'm not going to blabber on and on today.  I'll keep it short and simple.  I'm taking almost the entire day off here.  I've earned it.  I've worked extremely hard since the beginning of December here.  I've worked myself to the point of pain and exhaustion.  However I'm beyond thankful that I've been able to do that. With the way the job market and economy is right now, I've been truly lucky and blessed to have work to DO.  

So today, I will wrap up invoicing, and a logo design and then enjoy a day of change.  I'm going to watch the Inauguration. I'm going to pick my kids up from school.  I'm going to enjoy dinner with my family and spend time with them tonight. I'm going to draw in my sketchbook.  And above all, I'm going to enjoy what it is to be an American today.  I'm going to enjoy what it is to be able to LIVE the dream that is the American dream.  And above all, I'm going to enjoy a refreshing change of pace in my schedule- a day off!  I hope you are lucky enough to do the same.
