CRAZY busy...triage

A friend once told me that it's ok to have an idea and not actually DO anything with it. Very hard for me. I love being places I've never been, even if it's a simple as an intersection in my own town. So, I'm always chasing the new, following the creative thrill...probably the adrenaline.

Today someone asked me if I'm still crazy busy. I haven't seen her in years. Everybody always asks me that and I usually am...and that's CRAZY!

I like to read a book in a hammock, too.

In the last weeks I've been in triage mode with my life, considering what gives me the most emotional and (gotta think about it) financial bang for my life's buck. The answer pretty much always comes back to making art. Illustration, fine art, clay or paint...it's all good. I do need variety, I do need to be creating, but I do not need a billion hats to wear every day. Life will not allow me to have done everything, so it's time to get back to doing what I do well and love to do.

I'll forget this - there's still so much out there that's calling my name. And I do like to be busy, just not crazy.
