Saturday is observation day.
Observation: 1.an act or instance of noticing or perceiving.
I love Autumn; it is my favorite season. This week, the weather is perfectly cool and the trees are in full Autumn regalia. I long to go for a hike in the woods, but… I have videos to edit here at home. Therefore, I continue to hole up in my home office, living on cold pizza and water from the bathroom tap (it is closer to my office). Staying indoors is just one of the abnegations I have made (for now?) to become a freelance videographer.
Not that this denial of outdoor pleasures is completely without balance. I am simply engaged in what is, for now a higher, more pressing claim. Video production is one of my passions too. Yes, I am holed up in a small room at home, but I am truly doing something I love. How many people can say that? When my eye wanders away from the computer monitor toward the window, I remind myself that I am turning something I love into a gainful (hopefully) venture.
Videography is something in which I will always be engaged, even if I don’t make money doing it. For now though, I am trying to make a business of it, so I am willing to sacrifice my time spent outdoors to only include things like mowing the leaves and short walks with the dog – in town.
It is totally worth it.
