Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young.
But I don't think we make any fewer when we're grown up. [Jodi Picoult]
I thrive on making mistakes. Some of them are actually
rather fun, yet all of them are great teachers. And nowadays, making mistakes
is more real than ever. At least for me. If I spend more energy than is in my
tank, so to speak, I have all that time of refreshing the batteries to look for
the lessons and gifts of DOing More than I presently can.
Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not
because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're
afraid they'll tell you the truth. [ Jodi Picoult]
I’ve noticed this reluctance in me anymore round listening
to the stuff and nonsense others preach, shout, and point out as “dangerous” or
“wrong” for me. I’ve been like that to others too much to NOT see straight
through it.
And still, I deeply value those brave souls who tell me when
I look really tired. When they give me a way back in when I’ve gone outside
myself, that is priceless.
Extraordinary things are always hiding in places
people never think to look. [Jodi
Picoult, My
Sister's Keeper]
I think they always show themselves.
Almost always…
I love you, Currie

I find that overdoing it is really difficult to judge with a low energy tank. One day I could, "feeling" just the same, do something and be okay but another day do the same exact thing and pay a price for a good while after...even a day or two. Unpredictable. So, I try to go for it when I can. What the heck. I am going to feel some level of crummy either way. :)
My laptop died and I was offline for over a week. Nice to see your bright paintings again! :)
