I was strong out of the sketching gate, post-Taos, but the more that I've settled back into the day-to-dayness of my job and catching up, the more difficult it has become to show up in my journal and here. I cut myself several days' worth of slack for work and wallowing, but I won't stand for ongoing excuses. Although the backlog will (hopefully) soon rectify itself, my job and its demands aren't going anywhere anytime soon. No one said it would be easy to craft for myself an arts-filled life, but by all indications it's well worth it to carve out that time and lovingly hold myself accountable. I have just less than one whole year to draw upon (literally!) before the next trip to Taos. And there are so many other things (i.e. wrapping, teaching, etc.) that I want to get back to doing and offering.
So today, I may be scribbly but that counts for something. Showing up is enough. And for that I am so grateful.
