Who Made This Schedule????
Yes, it's me again - whining about time. There's just not enough of it to satisfy me. Who made me so responsible that I do all the have-to's first? Who taught me to wait for my turn? Who forgot to tell me just how long I might have to wait? It feels like forever! This won't do.
I'm throwing the gauntlet down to the clock. I'm in full-on rebellion here. Oh, don't worry. I've been too well-trained to revolt in ways I might dream of revolting - throwing schedules, responsibilities , jobs, and domestic duties out the window and locking myself in the workshop or sewing room. (Unlikely, although wildly attractive!)
No - I will just see to it that something creative fits in somewhere each day - little, big, finished or not - SOMETHING.
It's the least I can do for the artist in me struggling to breathe under the weight of responsible me sitting on her chest. Anybody care to join the revolution??

I understand the struggle. Sometimes I can live in my neat world, making crisp check marks on my to-do list. Most of the time the artist wins and I end up spending the whole day in my pajamas because I couldn't wait to paint. Who needs a shower or food when you have art?
ReplyDeleteJenny - It's a good day when the artist wins! I prefer those days!! Shower, food?? Please -- let me at those brushes, that paper and glue.... Thanks for stopping by! Come play in the challenges if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteAn date with your artist. Not much more to ask for. Aren't we all trying to schedule a day like that?!?
ReplyDeleteRevolution or no revolution . . I LOVE those Santas!
ReplyDeleteYes, Karen. We are certainly among those trying to schedule such a day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deborah! I was glad to get them done BEFORE Christmas! : )
