There is just something about waking up on Saturday morning, drawing the curtains back, and the sun pouring through the windows... Beautiful blue skies... laundry washed and hanging on the line... Freshly pressed apple juice... Cheese rolls...
I have been listening to a wonderful audio book... It isn't so much an audio book as a taped Focus Workshop... but there are so many suggestions and ideas for learning to take more control over how I use my time... I am an appalling procrastinator so I thought... perhaps a little more organisation...
"You are the creative force of your own life."
Oh my... Last week, I walked into my little office/studio gasped and turned tail and walked out... there were bits of paper all over the floor... the desks were so messy I couldn't find space to put my cup of tea down let alone think about opening my art journal... so I had to go away... this morning I returned with the hoover and the duster to sort it out... I have realised that when I get into the "zone" and am creating I am also making everywhere untidy around me way... but afterwards... I cannot think if the small space surrounding me is piled high with magazines, torn scraps and there is no space on the desk... I need a certain level of tidiness to be able to think... and contemplate...
It is such a beautiful morning here... the sun is shining... there is a chill to the air... a perfect Autumn morning for a walk on Cavehill... after everyone (birds, cats and people) have had breakfast...
