I reall...First of all- I LOVE this picture of you. I really love it. Second of all- I know exactly what you mean. I burn out constantly and have even less excuse than you!!! (Because of having only the one kid) but I think that creative energy, the kind it takes to make your paintings, is not an even keel thing. I think it demands periods of frantic work and then when you step away from the canvas you have to recharge even if you don't really want to. I am finding for myself that writing a book is much different than writing a blog post every day or writing homesteading posts. This kind of writing takes an intense amount of concentration and sometimes you have to go with it. I wrote last night even though I really just wanted to lie down and read a less exacting kind of story written by someone else. But the words were there and a solution I had been looking for presented itself. I had to write. <br /><br />The physical issues, the different physical limitations that you and I experience also require energy and time to deal with them. <br /><br />I hate that life isn't fair either. But I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that we all have different paths and mine is no less important than anyone else's and also- I would remind you especially that what you are creating with your fine art is work that will outlast all the crafty goodness of most other parents. Your are a painter and your work is something others will be able to enjoy and pass down to their own kids- that's something pretty incredible. But of course, you have to pay a price to give your gifts to the rest of us.Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275740489753320270.post-24486326542630141912009-07-09T16:53:49.256-07:002009-07-09T16:53:49.256-07:00oh bugger, seemed like you were in good form last...oh bugger, seemed like you were in good form last night anyways, maybe you can channel some of that energy!Eva-Lena Rehnmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677680988450695983noreply@blogger.com
