YUMMMMM!!!

I had a lot of fun searching around other peoples' blogs and websites today.

The cupcake image on this page is inspiring to me:

Many other images and words I saw inspired me too. So I got up and started drawing!

I've been stalling a lot, in recent years, so I often feel critical of myself when I see inspiring things on TV or the internet because I'm looking at the inspiration, but I'm not doing anything about it.

I still haven't figured out how to balance the search for inspiration with its utilization. For me, every time I do some little thing rather than just thinking about it, it's a triumph.

I always want to know how to do something perfectly before I begin, so I often resist beginning. But I know that I can be satisfied with first steps. And maybe some of the other ones between the first ones and perfection too.

Today I did some work on my merit badge project. That's something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about this year, that I write about in my journal but I haven't made it happen yet.

More later (I hope).

Right now I've got some doing to do...
