Happy Friday and thank goodness it’s finally here. This week has been more than overwhelming- if at the end of last week- I could have foreseen this week- Let’s just say I would have hid in bed with the covers over my head. It was a week of munching on more than I could chew. I have a problem with saying “no” and to that I mean- if anyone in my circle of life asks me for a favor or needs help, I will go to whatever means I can for them. I like to help, I like to rescue. I just refuse to leave my loved ones in the rain like a lost puppy.
A dear friend of mine- we will call her ‘X’ had asked me to do a fun favor and create flyers for her business. I LOVE to do this for people and I think I am pretty good at it! So of course I said yes!
All was fine and on track until….
Last Thursday as you know, I had a-last-minute-offer-to- photograph my boss’s car show in Anaheim which was great! However, I had sooo many pictures to edit. (I am working on getting to a place with my photography where I don’t have to post edit so much)- I know that means practice, practice and more practice!
In my defense, but not an excuse, I didn’t plan for the car show- I didn’t factor in Mother’s Day- plus ‘X’ had a guest from out of town in all weekend. All of these little rain drops manifested into a storm.
Naturally I feel bad, I did the best I could with what I had. I know that this caused some stress, and possibly some tension. ‘X’ felt there was enough prep time and I felt there wasn’t. I’m not certain what all this means other than I need to really be sure before taking on projects. It wasn’t fair for her to put her full trust in me- and then be let down. I would also like to say, the end result is ‘X’ was able to call upon a professional and the flyers were completed.
Since posts are better with pictures… this one makes me smile.
