And it seems as if time is eluding me at every turn. There is not enough hours in the day, or days in the week lately for me to accomplish everything I want or even need to. I’ve been stumbling through the past few weeks, and feel like I have been neglecting my online presence here. This blog has to adapt go through some growing pains, and change as time goes on though. It was started as a place to share my art, and for a peak into my life as an artist. It still is in a way, just that I have not been putting in enough effort. It also has been a way for me to keep track of the baby steps and progress I have made with my art. Lately though I feel as if I am struggling to keep up any part of this blog, website, and even my etsy shop. I am trying though to make small changes to find bits of time here and there to work on my art, etsy, and this website.

I am just not sure when all the small changes will start feeling like progress, when I will finally strike that balance between my work, life, and art. It seems as if all the goals, and lists, and dreams have gotten away from me. It all comes back to time, and making the most of it, and not letting it get so overwhelming that I feel like I am always failing.

Just some thoughts to end the week with…Have a very relaxing weekend, I know I plan on it.

It has been awhile since I have written anything, on here, in my journal, and just in general. I feel as if I am off track a little. Work has been draining me, my creativity, and my time. I figured when I went back to work full-time again that there would be an adjustment period. It’s been three months and I suppose I can say I am finally starting to get into a routine, but the feeling of being out of sorts hasn’t gone away. It’s as if I have two left feet. I hope really soon to feel as if I have found some balance, some time for everything I want out of life. For now this is just how life has to be I guess. Little shifts, and changes can create big change over time. That is the approach I hope to take, am taking. So here is to another week beginning, another opportunity to make time, to create the life I want to live, and be the best person I can.

Sometimes it’s as simple as lighting a candle… I need to pay attention to all the little things and not take them for granted, I like lists so here you go…

• lighting candles
• the beautiful fall colors, and how awesome the street looks right now
• getting to wear sweaters again
• pumpkins and corn stalks
• pumpkin spice lattes from starbucks
• apple cider
• shorter days, longer shadows
• getting to see cotton fields blooming
• rain boots in all different colors
• sleeping in on dark, rainy days
• sitting by the fire outside
• the smell of burning of leaves
• seasons changing…

I’ve been slacking around here the past week, and sadly have nothing but a sunset over a field to show you. I am hoping to get some time this week to spend in the studio and continue my Lil Bugs series. It has been slow going with my art lately, but hopefully soon I will get some energy and pick up the momentum. It is a challenge balancing everything in life, but one of these days I hope to figure it out.

Time to get going on this day, Happy Monday!
