I was feeling like an unproductive slug, but then I realized that I do have creative projects in the works. One is going to take more work and editing, but I am proud of myself because I have been coming back to it, as opposed to just starting it and then procrastinating. This is a challenge I have given myself that I really want to meet, and I'm doing it. That feels so good. Half of what I've done is workable. That's a lot more than I thought I would get. I am thrilled.
I know I'm being vague, but that's how I want it for now.
My other vague project just got a light bulb moment. I just now figured out which component I was missing. I still have to play with it to find out how it all goes together, but now I'm really excited about it. It's a small, silly thing that is going to make me feel so happy to do. It's already making me happy.
And here I am thinking that I'm a slug because my floors are not freshly vacuumed. I forgot about these things, or perhaps they did not register as something that goes on the to do list. I would rather do these things than chores, even though I do love a clean house. These are more important- the lasting things- the things that make an impression. They are my dent in the world. My counselor poked at me about this months ago, asking me to imagine my funeral:
"That Jenny, she sure had a clean apartment!"
So hell yeah for productivity on creative projects! I am also taking another crochet class this week, I have a deadline for an updated resume, I'm taking free Spanish lessons on Duolingo, and tomorrow is baking day. I've got this.
