As My Life Moves Along ..
I realize that there is no real rush .. Whether at work or at home, I am trying to remember this and implement it into my daily routine. It's a bit more difficult than it sounds. Like a bad habit, a feeling of deadlines and urgency linger. I breathe deep and sigh. I know this anxiety needs to go. It's subtle and present. It has entrenched itself in my brain.
Just Take The Moment ..
So I sit back and have my morning coffee .. Before getting involved in anything that came through on my work phone and email last night and early this morning. It never ends and it comes at a constant pace. I sipped the coffee and knew it could wait for a bit, at least until I was done that first cup and enjoyed the sounds of the morning while out on the patio.
Most of us need to work. It's a part of life; earning a few dollars, spending them, saving a few, and trying to enjoy what they buy during the short time we are here. Well, that's reality for most of us I think. Slowing the whole process down and not rushing the enjoyable parts that come in-between, is what I am trying to focus on. Anyhow, I'll let you know how that works out.
Wondering About The Photo Above ??
So I feel motivated again to paint, create, write.. but lack the time. So I have been taking a few moments when I can, to do something, anything, anything at all that is creative and will satisfy that urge to put something out there. I keep staring at that Caribbean themed oil painting that I started.. Oh I can't even remember how long ago .. thinking that I need to finish it. Maybe it's the warm seasonable weather that we have been experiencing, or maybe the fact that my not rushing mentality is working. Either way, the mood is taking hold and I may get that painting done.
Back to the cover photo.. 'Sunset After Snowfall' - It's a digital work that I have been playing with. It is almost done. I still have a few layers of pink and grey tones to put in. But overall one can get a good idea of what the finished product is going to look like. I know it may be weird that I am sharing a half done creation, but it has been so long since I have shared anything artistic, that I just couldn't help myself.
Since I've been working on projects like this, at a slow pace and when I have the moments to do so, I thought it would fit nicely into the theme of this post.. No Rush At All.. Right?
Molly and the rest of the day awaits ..
So I am going to wrap this one up and hopefully enjoy the day ahead, without working too much and slowing the pace just enough to absorb the beauty in the things I choose to do; Art, good conversation, food, drink, or just plain contemplation of life. It all deserves a little more of my attention, without rushing it along.
Oh Yeah! Molly Says Hello!!!
Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!
