Finally, The Feeling Has Returned.

I was becoming concerned due to an almost complete lack of sensation regarding the Christmas season. Today, the feeling returned after I stopped at a Dollar General, of all places, to buy a few gift bags and boxes for gifts that need wrapping. Suddenly, I found my internal monitor recognized a smile and feeling of light within.

I still have much to do before I can relax in the glow of the holiday, but when you're doing work you love, you don't mind. Every day as I prepare my studio for recording, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be doing work that seems more like play (well, thin about it...I guess much of what I do really is playing).

I'm not the best voice available, although I may be the best for specific applications. I am, however, one of the hardest working voiceover talents around, and I'm completely dedicated to the success of my clients. I may also be one of the best at listening to the client and translating their message to a script. No brag, just fact.

I don't think I've ever spent any time at the end of the year reflecting upon how lucky I've been, how much I appreciate my clients, and how grateful I am for everything that has come my way; this year...I'm going to do it. I have so much for which I am grateful...and I'm glad the feeling has returned.

Recognizing I'm generally writing to myself...and ignoring that fact, I'll close by hoping all y'all (the proper plural of the singular y'all) have a wonderful Christmas...and may we all have an even more prosperous 2009.
