i’m thinking if my life gets much simpler… i’ll become a real simpleton! LOL!
you’ve reminded me that i need to get out my calvin and hobbes books.
i have them all. i usually re~read them this time of year. i just love’em!
I don’t mind being a simpleton. 🙂 I still have my Calvin and Hobbes collection, too.
We’re looking at a super giant cedar tree that has to come down before it falls in a big windstorm. And we’re looking at repair and restoration of a dishwasher leak that dribbled down under the floor and is now feeding mold. Definitely time to simplify… but how?
Being lazy I’ve been content to live in an apartment. Not very fancy, but reasonably carefree.
I told my sister today that as soon as I’ve cleared all the STUFF out of my house and sold it all in my “booth” that I would close the booth and only focus on working on my Art. Because that is what I really ALL I want to do.
And that I was spending too much TIME on working on my “booth”.
Yep, just a simple life, making Art.
Then I picked up the check for last month and suddenly I want to do it ALL again!
I don’t mind juggling, I just need more hours in the day.
Your job is so demanding I’m amazed you get anything else done. I wouldn’t have the stamina. Good for you! And good luck on getting more art done.
I’ve missed Calvin and Hobbes — And they’re right, especially about being persistent!
I agree — persistence is so important. Just keep chuffing along.
Life is full of tones, shades and hues – you create what you want through eveyrthing including any messes 🙂
My motto is, “Stay curious and open to life. No matter what happens keep learning and growing. Find what you love and find a way to share it with others.” And my favorite prayer when things don’t go the way I had wished them to is, “Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity. I sure hope you know what you’re doing.” I don’t believe in God, but I do love that prayer. 🙂
The important thing is never to give up! I always feel, if we keep at it, we will get it right sooner or later!
I’m with you!
Luckily right now I don’t have too many things to juggle in my life, so giving them all equal attention is quite easy. I had a lot more to juggle when I was younger, especially with a full-time job. I’m not sure how I kept up with everything!
Working full time doesn’t leave much energy for anything else. I’m not sure I could do it now.
But the important thing is the persistence!
And a sense of humor.
Persistence is key. May our camels’ backs never brake.
To paraphrase the old chestnut “when life hands you lemons make lemonade”: When your eggs brake scramble them, bake a cake, smear them into your hair as an instant remedy to boredom when trying to rinse them out afterwards, or just use rubber eggs whilst in training.

Before any of you pick me up on my, as perceived by you, misspelling of “brake” (twice) – there is method in my madness.

I didn’t notice the spelling, so I’m afraid the subtle meaning escaped me until you pointed it out. Thanks!
