And just like that, it was Spring.
The End.
No, not really. I just wanted to end a perfect thought before starting a new one…. Because I still have a TO DO list consolidated into a bunch of little notebooks that all look alike… And although the list is ongoing, I have noticed a very sharp turn of events… A hairpin, if you’d like. Things like, DESIGN LOGO FOR NEW CLIENT THAT YOU HATE, have been replaced with words like PLAYGROUND, ENGAGEMENT PARTY, BUY MORE SHORTS, BLOG ABOUT THIS. But you know what hasn’t changed? My ability to put pressure on myself to complete all things on the list immediately. I mean now. RIGHT NOW. And although I find great peace and quiet in most of the things that I choose to do, I can also equate the pleasure of it all to that of the bane of my existence. Because I’m like that. I’m THAT PERSON. Very quickly, I can loathe that of which I love…. and then vice verse.
But I’m not writing about this because I’m loathing anything right now… Other than the TO DO list, which I think I mentioned is in a constant state of ongoing. Which means that it will never stop. Like doing dishes or laundry or STAGE MOMS. And the perpetual need to accomplish, start something new, end something old and move on. Even the designs and illustrations of days past… wanting to open them up and turn them into something else. Or buy that new Martha book about crafting EVERYTHING and decide that, yes, glue guns and glitter ARE good. I mean, what is it? What is GOING ON HERE? Spring has sprung and suddenly we need to DO, and if you aren’t as annoyed by me as I am right now… just hold on a sec because the daffodils are in bloom — and that one on the edge over there is WAY OUT OF CONTROL.
If your pictures are any indication, you’ve just completed the three things on my TO DO list.1)photograph large fuzzy bee in mid flight without blurring.2)Take asthetically pleasing photo of my desk and notebooks.3) Cut beautiful spring flowers and place them artfully in a vase on my table and then snap pic.Usually my lists include things like “don’t forget to shower and breathe!” along with more complicated unattainable goals that just make me feel sad when I don’t finish them.
I’m pretty sure you just told me to get over myself. well done!
Never!I actually LOVE to do lists except when my husband makes them because then they are cryptic and written in greek.Truth be told, I NEED them so I remeber where to be at certain points during the day because my kids joined too many sports and confused me.My current list has a “how to” for renewing the kids passports and it’s making my head hurt. I think I might throw that one out.By the way the CAptcha is back! Did you get a crazy stalker or someone you had to weed out?
I usually make shopping lists, then forget to bring them, so I don’t make them any more.Sometimes people work better under pressure. Maybe you’re one of them!
passports are now on my list too, thank you very much.
