Being a freelance artist is hard when you're not working

After a morning of watching Spongebob Squarepants with my kids this Veteran's Day, I felt even more tired than the day before. I could feel myself slipping into a quiet depression after not being able to earn money in a while. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and while I have 1 job I'm working on, I haven't been making enough money. My spirits picked up when I got a phone call back literally less than 10 minutes after I sent out an email. It's for a part time assistant job 3 minutes away from me, getting paid what I was getting paid working a graphic design job. I am manifesting positive thinking-after having listened to The Secret everyday, and I keep telling myself and believing that the next call I get will be from them to set up an interview. I also got a call from a friend who is setting up his new Optometry practice and he needs a whole slew of design work done. And on another website, a mother and small business owner is negotiating with me to get some design work for herself. This is such a turnaround from earlier today. I feel like I am needed and that it is possible for me to be a more successful freelancer. I will keep you all updated, but at the moment, my son finally is asleep (naptime) and I can take a shower!
