New Year's card I designed for 123print.com
Like every TV channel has their end-of-the-year summary of the big events that happened that year, I do the same. Ok, let's see what I did this year...
- I designed a poster that almost won AIGA's Poster Clash, the Annual Report for the Goodwill of Frederick County, the poster for Boo Bash, a Halloween party and one of my designs got published in a design book
- I designed a website for my Mom, for the Frederick County Civil War Roundtable group, for Rehabilitation of Frederick, for the Unifom Store and another one that will be unveiled soon...
- Visited friends and had a good time in Paducah and in upstate NY
- Got a new hip
- Got a new apartment and had the mandatory house warming party
- Got my first traffic ticket for running a red light
- Spent Christmas in Puerto Rico and watched my Dad get married
But my biggest accomplishment this year is one I never talked about in the blog. When I had my car accident in 1997, I started receiving Social Security Disability. Ever since I got it, I wanted to be able to live without it. I didn't wanted to be a burden on the government and feel like I depended on that. I always had some form of other income but it was never enough to be able to live without at least some Social Security income. For the first time this year I am earning enough money that I do not need Social Security and it is a good feeling.
All in all a year of new beginnings...
