100 Is Only the Beginning

Today marks my 100th post on my daily blog. I'm actually rather shocked that I have managed to work this into my schedule. Unfortunately, by doing this, I have let another posting board lapse and I really need to try and work that one back into my life. Getting up any earlier is not really feasible - I already get up and am at the computer no later than 4:00 am. But I really need to get back to my Metal Clay boards also, so I may need to alter my schedule.

I really wanted this blog to be a discussion about art. There certainly has been some, but also personal insights and daily living. I was thinking about honing the purpose of the blog to be more art-specific, but those daily living things are a direct influence on my art and I'm not sure I can divorce them.

What I really need in my life is more time. More time to take up a pencil and paper when I feel like drawing. More time to shake up some paints if I feel like trying some color combinations or painting a new mini. More time to turn on the kiln and play with glass in its many forms. My fingers itch to be involved more in my art. I dream about it, I think about it all the time, and I can't do it because I have a business to run and a family to pay attention to. Those two things also deserve my time. So, like many/most of you...I need more time in my life!
