hey there honky cat

weekend was a blur, but in a few days we get our cat. as long as I can continue on the middle path, I feel that I can end this year with a bang.


growing family!

we’re getting a kitten tomorrow! i’m very excited. i’ve only had dogs, which i still love, but i’m excited to enter the world of the catlady.


struggle

does everyone struggle with greatness? the hero’s journey isn’t easy. it can’t be; nothing worth having is easy. but when i am down in the dumps, it seems to stem from me not having enough… enough recognition, praise. now i know these things don’t matter, but i still go through spurts where they do. is that just being human? i don’t consider myself an artist, but i like to create. i like to play music, write and read. the question is how do i do enough without burning myself out, but also without not giving it my all. some days i create nothing and it’s perfect, and some days i create all day and it’s not enough. now that is not the norm, but it happens. i guess that is irrational. at least it seems to be written down. fame and fortune mean nothing, but changing lives with art is where i struggle. how do i get there? luck and persistence i guess. oh yea, and patience.


where do i go from here?

i’ve written haiku’s and a few short stories, but now I’m curious where my next creative turn will go. the emptiness i feel is a good thing; a god thing. i feel at one with the universe. if i don’t write again will i be happy? will something come along to inspire me? the waiting is the hardest part.


new person?

am i a new person, or just the same one? constant evolution.


fear

today i fear something that should be fun. if i’m scared, i don’t have to do it. but why the fear? i’ve done it before. anxiety rules me, and only seems to get worse. should i dive in? or should i just avoid it?


more

life is more than just a list of things to do.


challening

every week is a new challenge. stay to the middle and you will get there quickest. the only problem is the scenery on the sides is beautiful. how can i take it in while still walking ahead?


will power

is will power alone enough? i don’t think so, but i’ve gotten myself back into a situation where I need it to be. can i do it? stay tuned…


keeping my appointment?

I made an appointment for today I don’t want to keep. It is not important, and will only result in being asked to buy something I don’t want and can’t afford. However, I feel like I should stick to it. It will interrupt my flow today. Is there something I can gain from this experience? What can I learn? I want to stay as curious as a child. I will keep learning until I cannot.
