Something happened a few days ago that caught me off guard. But after a little time to reflect I realized that I have been in such a rush over the past few years to work, work, work that I have forgotten how to slow down and enjoy what I am working so hard for anyway.
For a lot of people, artists especially, understand that the last several year’s economy was rough for us. It was hard to just keep everything together and now that things are picking up we are doing everything we can to work. We say “no” to very little which means we are working ALL THE TIME. We take every job that comes up or that we can schedule. When we are not actually creating or teaching we are planning the next class, ordering supplies for it, or doing bookkeeping that is necessary for any small business. It’s an endless cycle.
This rush becomes a way of life, a habit that is hard to break. But break it we must. We are missing out on the most important part of life. We have to learn to slow down and enjoy the moment of life we are in now rather than the next one we are planning. We may not get to that one!

Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew
of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed
in this article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get feedback from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let
me know. Thanks!
I’m not familiar with any discussion forums but there is bound to be some out there. Perhaps a Google search will help find a few….and maybe one that you would enjoy.
Now take your own advice and enjoy life! You seem to love what you do but you work so hard it’s got to get to you sometimes! I was glad to see your recent get-away because I think you do deserve a break and time to smell the roses! Thanks for all your hard work because you bring so much to others but don’t forget about you! Love you!
Thanks Barbara! Love you too.
A good reminder!
