The art of the day is: Hurry up and wait.

I just need to be here long enough to see two or three people, and then I can move on to the next leg of this trip. I'm not anxious to leave. Waiting gives me the opportunity to write, and to think about what I have not been writing, right? I am sort of tethered to this spot, because I'm working alone, and I've already succeeded in doing the one thing I had to do while I was here, so if I wasn't waiting, I could leave. The weather is still nice enough to be bothered by the fact that there isn't even a window to the outside where I'm set up. I'm not kvetching, more just observing that this sort of thing is important to me. Surprise myself by the need for natural light.

The art of the day is: Cleaning out the attic

Physically and metaphysically.

The Art of the Day is: pacing

I've been feeling particularly tired lately, and yet I'm falling into an exercise routine and am thoroughly enjoying the newly discovered muscles on my forearm (easy to see). So I'm learning something about pacing from trying to spend a certain amount of time on certain machines. I've been resensitized to pacing while driving (well something good has to come of a speeding ticket), and back to school/work full time so I'm back to schedules. Housework, socializing, and projects which require thought are eluding me. I'll wait and see.
