Where has the time gone and please don't delete my blog...

Gosh,

It has been almost 3 months since I last blogged. It has been crazy. March didn't really exist for me - I was sick for so long.

And I have so much decluttering and reorganizing of my life to do right now. I conveinently forgot that my checking account and credit card account were still linked to my ex-husband. And we have been divorced for almost 3 Years!!! So now I am in the process of changing everything. My son will be going to college in fall and I am doing the financial aid process - so complicated. Why is it so hard to fumble through this paperwork???

I have not felt too creative lately. I  am just happy if I can get some filing done. 2007 files are almost done. However, I have misc. 2004-2006 files hanging around. Good thing - I felt so accomplished when I finished filing my 2008 files. I am current there for the most part.

I look at all of my art supplies and wonder - If I havent' used them in 3 years why keep them? I do not have much room in my apt. I feel almost overwhelmed by all of the supplies since I have no real space to call an "art room".  I have tried to come up with plans but somehow they do not actualize. So, I am thinking the easy way is to just throw away or donate unused materials.

I know I will be happier when i can get everything under control and I mean regarding not only clutter but my life in general. My love life seems to be doing real well. My work life is going better but don't have the supplies needed to effectively do my work.

My, I just read this and realize how negative and complaining it is... I must change this and be more positive and instead of complaining "just do it".

Sometimes we just need to vent. Don't throw those art supplies out! I was having a similar issue not feeling so creative and feeling like I didn't have the time or space. But I discovered a sketch pad, some colored pencils, and a comfy chair was very doable. I started by creating mandalas. The meditative process was very healing and uplifting. I highly recommend it.

Keep smiling

The supplies will be waiting patiently for you; for when you need them. You'll know when the timing is right. :)

Even though you might feel that your comments were negative, romantikpoetry, I read lots of very positive things: filing getting completed, love life (wa-hoo!)"doing real well", and your work life "going better". You are taking positive steps to "de-clutter" and "re-organize"; things that take time. It's good to hear from you, and much success with your goals.

I just read your blog tonight - It's been about a month since I blogged - it's easy to get mired down in the day to day isn't it? I''m pretty new to Artella, but my blog is about artists that deal with illness and low energy and there are a lot of ideas about small, tiny things you can do in your studio - I dont know if any of the ideas will be helpful, but I hope you check it out when you have a minute - Cheryl bspimas
