What a difference a day makes...

What a difference a day can make ... ya just wake up and say to yourself...SELF.. "ain't Nobody gonna railroad me...don't try and tell a lady she ain't Free" (lyrics from one of my fav songs) Woke up singing it and will proceed through the day smiling, singing and pushing on with it.

OK...I am Not truly, mortally or emotionally wounded... I just get myself in a mental dust bunny mode once in a while... giving waaaay to much power to what others think and say... I seem to function much better listening to ONLY the little voice I have inside... sometimes I wanna 'whack' that voice around and say "snap out of it" but most times it guides me in the right direct...

OK...so I lost a week because of 'life's little 'Get in the Ways' but I have gained strength and a more clear vision ... The pathway is swept, obstacle's are removed and I feel like I have on brand new tennies that can take me anywhere...

Back to work on our latest piece...it has my undivided attention and I shall not stray from the goal I have set...

I hope everyone who has them....can sweep away the mental dust bunnies and step firmly onto the pathway ...see you there!

Hugs,

Jodi

Can it actually be Thursday already??? REALLY???!!!

Time keeps on Slippin Slippin Slippin into the future...gotta love Steve Millers profound song and words...and today I feel like I am in the middle of one of them. Ever have a week disappear?? I mean literally *POOF* you blink and it's at the end of it!! Where did the first part go...and what about the middle, wasn't there supposed to be a middle?? This seems to be happening to me more and more lately... I find that if I don't get a serious 'grip' on things on Sunday or Monday....the week runs free and wild... much like a cowboy lassoing a steer...if you don't get that rope around the horns and neck first try... they run amuck and you chase it till ya do!! and then there is always that chance of the steer blending into the rest of the herd ...what I like to call...'weeks into months'!! Well my 'steer' got away from me and has 'blended well'!!

All I can do now is set my sights on next week and give it another go!!

I am one of those that when I work...I NEED to dedicate ALL of my time to the effort...with no straying off the pathway...one toe out of line and it's like I have developed A.D.D (Artistic Deficit Disorder) ...anything can pull my attention elsewhere... kittens need saving from a mine cave in...I AM THERE, Vaccinations needed in outer Mongolia ...COUNT ME IN!! You need someone for a 24 Hour 'Stare-A-Thon' ...I AM YOUR GAL!!! Sick really that I so easily get distracted ... and lately life has been throwing me straight down the middle distraction balls that I don't see coming.

When I am on my game the skies the limit...I can achieve anything in record time.... but I feel like I have been sitting the bench a lot lately and inside I am screaming "SEND ME IN COACH"!!!

In my defence, I have been talking with several friends that claim to have the same malady ...so it is either common, normal or contagious!

My table is filled with projects each waiting for me to sink my teeth into them and finish the job ...but those darn days "keep slippin"

I think today (reason I got up so early this morning 3:30-ish AM) I shall dig in my heels , don the blinders and ear plugs , duct tape myself to the work table and make weeks end progress...so that by Friday (tomorrow...GULP) I can wave that victory flag of *** YEA BABY...I got Something Done this Week*** Wooo-Hoooo....

Hmmm...maybe I should design 'Flags'...hmmm ....BAD JODI BAD...NO BISCUIT!!!

Hugs
