Learning by rote

The day began with rain, and winds, and was the sort of cold that you expect for October, as opposed to the day before when people walked around in shorts.
I went to the Goldhawk Park Library. I find that whenever I feel down, one of the things that I like to do, if I cannot go for a long walk, is to visit somewhere where I can look at books and read something new. What I found out today was that I wanted to focus on my higher, more positive thoughts. The more I focused, the better it became to clear my head.

Feeling down is normal. I have been here for nearly two months. I want to start seeing results for my efforts. But moreso, I want to put into play, the circumstances that can eventually lead to me being able to be as creative as I can, making money from that creativity. As I walked home, the thoughts got sharper, and I finally went back to the computer and took another look at my resume and tweaked it again. This time, more confidently than I would have, if I had done it over the last few days.
Going out and changing my surroundings was helpful to my mindset. Sitting in the house promoted brooding.

It was a start.
