To Blog or Not to Blog…

June 21, 2005

….I’m also faking that I have contemplative thoughts about blogging. The real reason I haven’t posted anything for two weeks is nothing so profound. The truth is, I’ve been playing hookey.

I admire all of you who have the discipline to work every day, a little at a time. I try to do that too, and sometimes I’m more successful than others. But my true nature is to piddle around and then at the last minute work incredibly hard towards a deadline. So it’s kind of inevitable that there’s usually a let-down or a tad bit of depression after a goal is reached.

I sensed that June was talking about the same kind of thing in her description of what she felt after Quilt National. A sense of loss of a goal that has been driving you for a long time. Like “what do I do now?”

Oh, I still have lots of ideas. Just not too much motivation.

Instead, I’ve been doing lots of things normal people do. Watching some movies, reading some books, shopping, spending time with my increasingly growing extended family, planting some flowers, trying to remember how to cook.

I think it’s okay to take some time off. Maybe the creative spirit needs to rest sometimes. Or even hibernate. Someday soon, it’ll wake up and come out of its sleepy cave, a bit shaggy-looking, grouchy, and hungry.

But please excuse me if I hit the snooze button just a few more times…
