The Groove

This week I am feeling hassled and harried by my regular routine.  Is it the fitting back into the groove of the norm after the past two weeks of holidays?  No matter that I may desire it, I have not spent great blocks of time painting, drawing, creating.  My experience has been one of scattered moments peppered throughout the days recently passed.  Days where I am just able to scratch out an idea for a project, jot some journal notes, take some quick photos after lunch.  In amongst  phone calls, reading user guides, checkbook balancing, grocery shopping and household upkeep I have managed to fit in time to create.  All the while I have unrealistically expected to spend many uninterrupted hours playing in my studio space as well.  The discrepancy between the desire and the actual is what contributes the most to the sense of "not enough time".  Accepting the actual and noting gratefully the accomplishments is the way I can bring things back to peace.
