pain for pleasure

I guess all my stress paid off in the end. The design for the condo building I've been working on is mostly complete and it seems to have passed all critique with flying colors. I've heard the phrases, "It looks really good!", "The massing feels great", "You guys have done a great job with it" thrown around the last few days. I think the best compliment was given by an experienced landscape architect who said we've done a really great job on the entry (the part I had the largest part in designing). I can't take credit completely for the design. I've been working on a team with two others and while I may have decided what the massing and components of the entry may have looked like they provided the critical critiques to my work that made it successful. Thank you Paul and Alex for all the help and encouragement you've provided me.

I've been really happy with work this last week (and sleeping well) which makes the stress almost seem worth it.

So, to celebrate my success I purchased another pricey gym membership so I can feel good in mind and body. Here's to happiness!
