Kicking my own butt

So, I realized that I've been dwelling on some mistakes I've made in the past. Beating myself up for things. Sometimes, I think it's good to do that, because it propels you to change. But dwell on it too long and it just becomes like quicksand, sucking you under, refusing to release it's hold on you.

So, it seems that the lesson being shoved down my throat lately is balance. The yin and the yang of everything. I think I'm usually pretty good at that, but here lately it's been a struggle. And life has a funny way of hitting you over the head with a lesson until you get it!

I'm letting go of some online activities to make more room for the creating, and I think I probably need to get back to doing something I enjoy. Reading, writing, photography (the camera used to come out every day, but now it only seems to come out during planned photo days).

I will be working on creating something new tonight... not for my shop, something to give as a gift. Lots of thoughts swirling in my head this morning!

The photo above is a red winged blackbird... I absolutely love them! This one was so friendly, and their song is amazing.
