A few months ago, hubby and I had a conversation about feeling stuck. He was ready to get involved again in his acting, and wasn't sure how to go about it. He was unsure how to actually get started. I urged him to Just Start. Find something, a class you can take, a movie that needs extras, or even a set you can volunteer on. Just Do Something! So he took that to heart, and signed up for a 5 week class, and boy, did that get him going! There was no stopping him then and he was so, so happy in what he was doing. So this phrase caught my eye the other day when we were at the Academy of Science, here in San Francisco. This quote actually refers to things a person can do to conserve energy and recycle. But I thought of other things when I read it. :)
I think lots of us feel this way sometimes. I know I do. Sometimes I feel like if I can just get going in the right direction, then I'll be on my way. It may be hard to stay on track, but isn't life exciting like that? All sorts of wonderful things can pop up if you are open to it. Isn't that a nice thought?

Yes...working on that right now, trying to stay open to it all even when "it" doesn't seem at all like what i want.
Sending you love.
I LOVED this post! Thank you - much need motivation for me!
ReplyDeleteYou always know the right thing to say and exactly the right way to say it. You have always been very encouraging and inspirational to me. I just want to take this opportunity to say Thanks :)
ReplyDeletethanks guys. It's nice to know this hit home for you all. I know I certainly feel stuck sometimes, and if I can just get my booty in action, then most of the time I know I will be okay. It's just hard to get going once you've lost your momentum! Thanks for leaving a comment. It is always nice to know someone is actually reading this little blog of mine!
ReplyDeleteJust finished a blog post about a journey I'm on this weekend (visiting the parent's in law) and how that made me think about the creative journey. So I read this FABULOUS post and thought "YES"! Kelly gets it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found you. :)
I love it. It is so true. Sometimes I feel like that when there is too much to do and I end up doing nothing. But just doing something gets the ball rolling. I'm happy for your husband. I love that you are both artists :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great support you are for you husband... and great advice for us all! JUST START! Love that! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful weekend!
