This is day 23 of NaBloPoMo. Good grief, the month is speeding by! The main realization so far is how little I am sketching. I take some solace in the pile of recently created pottery.
We're taking a detour today. I enjoy reading, but tend to put it off until late evening. Unfortunately, reading at that time guarantees sleep within minutes. The book is soon set aside to catch dust. There are a couple dozen unread books scattered about the house. I remember buying each of them and thinking "This looks great. I'll be reading this tonight!" Yeah, right.
Thanksgiving is near, so I started in on cleaning and reorganizing. It was a very productive afternoon - for awhile. Then a forgotten book caught my eye. Hmmm, I should round up all the unread books. I found one to return (from 10 years ago - fairly certain I'll never get to it). The rest were carefully rearranged. Perhaps I'll read this novel if it's stashed by the recliner. Maybe the spiritual book would beckon to me from the nightstand. That old classic seems to fit the couch atmosphere. The strategy is similar to organizing the art tools. The perfect spot guarantees future use, right? Does anybody else have this problem, er… I mean... incredibly brilliant plan?
They all have new homes & I have a plan to make time for reading and sketching earlier in the day. It's kind of a winter resolution now that the cold weather is here to stay. Plus, as resolutions tend to wilt away, January 1 is just around the corner to bring renewed motivation. Smart, right?
We shall see.
