Glowing Edges

I am amidst great plans and feel the frustrations of not being able to implement them quickly enough. Finding myself to be one of the greatest obstacles to the ends of my goals is difficult enough to accept but I have found myself at this crossroads often enough in my life to be able to recognize the putting off I can tend to do as I make up excuses to prevent the conclusions of certain tasks that ultimately will bring about the end of the means. Ugh! One of these behaviors is talking myself out of doing something right away by finding more pleasant things to do, or limit myself to certain times to accomplish tasks in order to be able to have some fun as well.

One great solution I discovered and this is known by many planning experts is that if it is a big project, it needs to be broken down into parts and tackled separately but orderly until all is finished...fait accompli! Another is if I have a big cerebral project, I need to clear the deck of menial labor before tackling. I am not the absent minded professor type with stuff stuck here and there in an order only known to me and God. But I can slip to closely resembling that image!

So I was taking on fall housecleaning (major!), taking an online digital camera course free from HP which called upon me to go on photo shoots, and finally, the piece de la resistance, I am planning to add advertising to my blog and maybe my website, which is totally a cerebral task and requires much ethical thinking. I am also continually writing love poems for a book I'm compiling plus have 12 sketches stashed away for painting. I do these things to myself all the time, take on too much until I start to make up excuses for not doing these things. Truly, I am an all American goal-oriented over achiever, who doesn't feel enough alive unless I am overburdened by projects!

In the meantime there is the music. My keyboard is always awaiting to soothe my jangled nerves and help me release many pent-up emotions. Here it is in glowing edges effects.
