Truth is...

I haven't been taking the time to read my friends' blogs lately and I feel bad about it. I really do want to know how they're doing, what new art they're making, and the ups and downs they are experiencing.
truth is...

I'm having a hard time balancing my time. I am trying to get into a new routine everyday listing new work in all three ETSY shops, painting, and working in the pottery studio. This leads to time management again. Where do I find the time to just read for pleasure without feeling guilty for not getting any work done?

truth is...

I don't go out for hikes while my husband is home from work, which means the dogs don't get their much needed walks in and I feel like a slug. (Although we did get in an hour ride on the horses this morning and I helped a little load/unload hay this afternoon.)

truth is...

I'm just tired today and want to relax, but I feel like I can't because I should work on my hubcap for the landfillart project, edit and load images, and get those planter dishes thrown.

Know what though? I'm going to shut down this computer after making this post and going for a walk with my dogs! It rained today and there's nothing like the mountains after a good rain.


*I made the time to read two blogs today. My friend Leanne's "From Chaos Comes Happiness" and Kelly's "Artful Happiness". Leanne started a blogging revolution called Keeping It Real. Today's blog post is my first day participating.
