I’ve decided I’m cursed with always being in the process of
getting ready! That’s not a bad thing! I rather like all the activity.
I spend hours practicing for that 1 hour of playing for
other people.
I spend hours tatting that 1 small snowflake or earring.
I spend hours cleaning and straightening for that 1 day
hosting.
Currently, I’m spending hours preparing the Elephant canvas,
preparing an application to teach another workshop, deciding what I’ll be doing
to celebrate the Holidays…then preparing for all that.
Lest you think I’m grumpy about it all, I would rather be
planning and preparing than caught flat-footed and miss the chance to play the
organ, give a gift, or welcome friends to my home.
So, I’m off to prepare to host the Tuesday Tatting Study
Group. After a walk along the Bay.
I agree, I do like to be organized! I don’t always achieve it, but it’s a worthy goal. Good luck with your preparations.
ReplyDeleteI can't mislead you....I'm never organised!!!
DeleteUnless you count playing the organ :)
The journey is often just as enjoyable as the destination ! Stay prepared 🌹
ReplyDeleteI hope your Diwali celebrations have been enjoyable!
DeleteI never thought of it that way before, but the preparation (tatting, practicing....) is SO much more fun than the 'destination' (the finished snowflake or the 1 hour of playing that is over all too soon. :) Enjoy the journey. :D

The "journey" is where I procrastinate and stall unless I have deadlines. Hope your journey is wonderful!
DeleteI like deadlines. What I really like is the whooshing sound they make as they pass by.
ReplyDeleteThe preparation should be the fun. For instance, you love organ and in your prep you can do as you like. The 1 hour is work.The prep is relaxation. Have a nice walk. Tell the study group hello from South Carolina.
I will! I think of all y'all each time I pick up the needle book, the picking pin, or think of all those unfinished projects!
