I’ve been considering this question this past month. It’s wonderful to have places to be, people to see, and work to complete. Sometimes I just need to force myself to stop and examine that unfolding rhythm of my days.
Each week I’m greeted with the challenge fulfilling others expectations, and doing what fulfills me. Would a stricter routine, a more rigid schedule help? Maybe a checklist would keep me on track?
Then I think about that John Lennon quote; “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” So I take a breath and try to let myself truly enjoy the present moment, whatever that may be. This is it, this is my life.
Highlight for last week, besides pulling together the AAWA Exhibition in Lansing. I donated two pieces to the Ecology Center Fundraiser “sustainable centerpiece” project. They will be sold during a silent auction. Hope they generate some funds for a good cause.

Hey Barb,
You described my sentiments and life as a whole. I am so busy being busy that I don’t get as much as I want done. If I slow down too much I feel like such a slug!
Either way, enjoyed your piece and bye the way…you are awesome!

Maria, Thanks for your comment. Somehow it helps knowing you are not alone on this frequently crazy maze of activities.
