briefly

This is going to be short, because the morning is whittling away and I promised myself this day would be wholly dedicated to my calendar project. Well, about half the day is gone already, with little progress…

Yesterday was a VERY busy day, starting around 4 in the morning, and ending at about 11 pm—filled with constant activity throughout. That used to be typical of most of my days about 15 years ago. But I just can't do it anymore. Oh, sure, I can sustain that pace for one day, but the next day I'm just wiped out.

As a result, I did not get up as early as I wanted to this morning, and when I did I was just slow about everything. Mr. threw the kitty into the bedroom this morning about 7, claiming she was driving him crazy. She sat purring on my chest as I laid in bed for a little while longer. When she moved down to curl against my legs I grabbed my Bible and read for a while. Then I forced myself to get out of bed and on to crazy killer yoga for a half an hour. Shower, e-mails, laundry, etc. took me to almost 11. Where is this day going???

So, now I turn my attention back to my calendar design. I am loving the thrill of every new page, every new combination of photos. Yes, a high almost like a drug, like I mentioned a few posts ago.

I did not get any photos yesterday with all my busyness. But I didn't miss beauty—I was creating it! What could be better?? Looking through years' worth of old photos, picking out the best, arranging them into pleasing compositions. *contented sigh* Oh, and I also got "unstuck" from that design problem I was pondering.

And so I am going to include two photos from my calendar design as today's photo for today, and get right back to the project.
