Lately, I've been struggling with the balancing act of family, knitting, creating another book, work and life in general. How do we fit it all in? How do we keep our creative side full and our guilt side empty? Small steps lead to wonderful discoveries in this area of life. We learn about our unique capacity to juggle all of the activities in life in a sane way. So what if we get out of balance? We jump back into life and keep going - remembering to grab our knitting, crochet or other crafty projects to take along with us. No guilt trip - creativity is what you do along your life's journey. It magically weaves itself into your daily activities through thought, action and intention. So relax - you're being creative even when you aren't aware.Think about getting up earlier or indulging in late night knitting or crochet(if you're a night owl) once and awhile. Keep projects organized and ready to go along on any outing. Set up an area to work on projects when you're home. Try to incorporate a knitty activity like pouring over a knitting/crochet book or magazine, work on a project, share your knitting skills, join a knitting/and/or crochet group and enjoy any or all of these activities at least once a week.
Remember to keep your knitting side full today and live guilt free.Marg (enjoying the last snow day, hopefully)
