Frenetic Energy...

I am bumbling around with frenetic energy, finishing up projects and meeting deadlines. I feel sort of like a wound up top, moving surely and forcefully around the table. I am catching up on projects that are long overdue and laying down the foundations for new ones. The update to my shop should occur tomorrow, if all goes well. I'll be adding over 50 new kinds of products. It's a massive feat. Each item has five pictures and each of those pictures have been edited in some form or fashion. That's over 250 pictures (plus the retakes)! Not to mention the descriptions for each.

I made sure to take a few moments to sit out on the porch today and do nothing. The sky was beautifully raked with clouds and the brightest shades of blue. I know myself. If I keep up with the wild abandon of a too quick pace, eventually I'll crash just like that top spinning and warbling out of control before it stops. But... if cautiously guided, I can maintain the momentum and do everything that needs be done. I'm hoping for the latter.

Congratulations and good luck with your new shop!

Andrew, having lived several years longer than you, and also being a perfectionist (like having 4 views of each item), eventually I've learned that if I do about 50% of what I expect of myself, that 85% of the people are satisfied, and at least 75% of the people are overwhelmed and/or impressed. As illness has robbed me of energy, I find this rule of thumb is a lifesaver. Why not save your life (energy) earlier rather than later? Just something to ponder in all your spare time...lol!

Wonderful big sky - you can't help but feel at peace when looking up into a blue sky with puffy clouds drifting across. Best of luck with all your deadlines and projects.

Hope that you are accomplishing your deadlines. The last couple of days has been a big push for me, too...still didn't get done what I wanted to accomplish. There is always today and tomorrow!
Bead Happy!
