I don't know if it is a symptom of aging or lack of focus, or both, but I am increasingly unable to start something and progress through until it is finished. I have always been a 'small bites list' person but these days I don't even get around to making a list, then not much gets done.
The number of 'works in progress' is becoming alarming, and they are not progressing.
Butterflies in the brain, that's what it is. Is there a solution? I am working on it but there had better be!
The halfway point seems to be the slipping point. I start out with tremendous enthusiasm and about half way through "Oh look! That's nice, I want to make that!" and I am off in a completely different direction. So far I seem to be running at the rate of about one stalled project a month.
My White Christmas Amaryllis in bloom, snow outside. Click picture to enlarge This is a butterfly moment. Not flea brain as some people say, butterflies, much prettier. Oh look there is a flower! Isn't it pretty?
Step one, make a list. Step two, kill Lori when she helpfully points out the omissions.
Happy New Year to all!
Y'all come back!
Atta girl, blame Lori!!! Love the term "butterflies in the brain." Because it describes me too.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a truly white amaryllis (most have flecks of pink or red): it is beautiful.
