jubilacion :: in the midst of….

********







really. 
i'm too hard on myself. 

i was working with a heavier gauge wire than i desired. 
but, i just had to be creative, just to see if i still "had it." 
you know? 

it's been months, literally months, since i have been at the workbench. 
i wasn't terribly pleased with the outcome, but i wasn't terribly disappointed, either. 

and, yes….my arm muscles were spasm'ing after bending and hammering wire.

*

the wee duck is a gift from mister pencilfox. 
while out on an early morning walkabout, 
he found this little loner 
up at the lake. 

*

i'm still hiking coyote hill every evening to tend to the garden. 
it's the best pencilfox garden ever. 

*

it's a good life.

I can't get over the duck found at the lake! :D Little guy flew in from somewhere and knew you'd find a home for him!

It's hard not to be too hard on ourselves, dammit. But creating every day as you've vowed to yourself to do, even if it's a small thing, alleviates some of the pressure. There's always tomorrow.

Of course you still got it! And your creative muscles will mend and strengthen just as your body will. With practice. With patience.
