The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. ~Amelia Earhart

The winds of change breeze by us every day. However, we can become so wrapped up with Busyness that we don’t feel its the gentle, refreshing touch.

Two questions:

1. What activities do you enjoy doing?
2. How many hours per month/week do you actually engage in said activities?

These two questions have been posted in the back of my mind for the past several months. Recently I realized {again} that I have a long list to the first question. And that the answer to the second question was not something I readily admit.

For example, I have a camera with me at all times. I enjoy capturing moments of my life via photos. I have amassed quite a library of images — eclectic, themed and … not very well categorized. Something I would enjoy doing is reviewing my photographs and creating collections, organizing them in a way that I can easily access them.

I am doing this — a little bit at a time: my account

Change can happen.

While life has been fabulous and busy and joy-filled, eclectic and exciting and new … It has also finally settled down from the racetrack pace of the past two months. Thus the mundane and routine (same thing?) resume. And I become prayerful to ask for a steadfast spirit.

Distraction is something I deal with regularly.

The image I included was captured during a particularly crazy afternoon that included car repair, a hail storm and a miscommunication {of epic proportions} with one of my sons. And, as is my habit, I clicked pics to pass the time and keep myself focused on moving through said afternoon.

I employ {a creative methodology} to ensure perseverance doesn’t completely slip away. It involves {cue cards} and {collage journaling} and {planning calendars} and {accountability partners}. However. Sometimes.

Even said methodology has its limits.

And I get to the point where I feel uʍop ǝpısdn. Like I have fallen and can’t get up.

Thus … Today I am opting to stay parked-in-place. After all, being uʍop ǝpısdn has its unique views.

It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.  ~Albert Einstein
