Yea! Only one more day until I'm back in sync with the art book I'm blogging about, "The Crafter's Devotional".
Okay so here I am in the A.M., I know can you believe it...blogging....as I sat at the kitchen table early this morning with freshly brewed coffee in hand, contemplating life and all it's quirks....my mind drifted to my blog...I know, I know, what does "it" have to do with life contemplation....I thought, "What randomness shall I blog about today, since I won't be blogging about the art book?"
Then it hit me....and this is where the life contemplation weaves itself in....sneaky I know,right?...I began to think about those of you who are regular readers of this blog and how I actually forgot to blog Sunday, mostly because on Friday I had pre-determined to be a "slacker" until I was caught up with the art book...I didn't actual intend to "slack" but I did....then I thought about disappointing my readers....and I felt bad....THEN I realized how hard it's is to blog everyday and do a good job of it....for me it's about engaging you the reader and taking you, with me on this journey...sharing Beautiful art, stories and such....not just any old thing just so I can fill some "goal"...that's not why I started this blog....and it hit me just how hard it is to honor my commitment and do it well, because as we all know...aside from life's quirks, life also likes to pull tricks....lots and LOTS of Tricks...ha..ha..ha....very funny.
So now I'm really and I mean REALLY relating to the character of Julia in "Julia Julia", not Julia Child's but the other Julia...and her frustration as she moves through the cookbook...and not just any run of the mill cookbook either.
So what did I learn you wonder....well, that I'm going to stay true to my commitment of this blogging expedition in it's original intent....to provide myself with consistent down time to create just for the sake of creating with no real goal in mind...to continue to use Barbara Call's book for inspiration and to blog everyday, (once on weekends), but to not worry when quirks and tricks make there rounds and disrupt things....Truth be told...the quirks and tricks are pretty fun, I love a good adventure....
So if I'm absent....please know that I Love You....even when I take time to dance among the daisies....I'm thinking of you....wishing you here to dance with me too.....
Blessings & Joy, Alexia
