That Nagging Struggle

Over and over again I face this struggle of not having time to do everything I want to do. I am facing it again today. I'm not talking about the daily grind of work/laundry/grocery/etc., those commitments that we all have to do. The things I feel I don't have time to do are things I want to do to fuel my creativity. I want to take my camera and dance along the edge of seeing things a different way. I want to put my hands on all the fabulous colors and textures of papers and fabrics and create something phenomenal. Maybe I need to try harder to find the joy in doing the daily grind and look closer to try and find something that I must be overlooking. Am I being selfish?

There is nothing like it.

At my house a clothesline is essential. We use it year round. If it's not raining or snowing there is usually something hanging on the line. After all, nothing feels as good on clean, fresh showered skin or smells as good as sheets and towels that have danced in the breeze and been kissed by the sun.
