I have chatted a little about Creativity the last couple days but also about the self doubt that has plagued me and still does to this day.
OK, I admit it, I am a Dictionary.com junkie..... I hated using a dictionary when I was in school but this site as well as Thesaurus.com have become great friends. They help me with fun word games (OK, so maybe it is cheating) but it also helps me to realistically look at something in its REAL light, well at least according to Roget,,,,,
So what really is doubt??????
.........to be uncertain about something; be undecided in opinion or belief......
I LOVE THIS DEFINITION!!!! It says to me that the indecision or the belief and be dealt with. I can choose to be uncertain, or I can choose certainty. I can choose doubt and disbelief or I can choose BELIEF.....Belief in my ability, belief in my skills, belief in my creativity.......
Now what do I DO with this frame of mind. My plan is to spend the weekend taking some pictures of complete, in progress and future projects to share with you. Things I planned on sharing all along but let myself get sidetracked with my parents illnesses.
I think I can find a way to intertwine the two....the caregiving as well as the ME side, the creative side...just like like life being a road that has twists and turns with many intersections....so will this creative journey I am on.
OK, so I will try to not to make definitions a DAILY part of my post, but I think I have stumbled on to something.... :o)
Until next time.....

Do your parents like to work with their hands? I am not sure if your mom can, but maybe they can help "create" projects. Just a thought. I am thinking about having the girls make some of those "knot blankets" for their little cousins. You know, take two pieces of fleece, cut in about three inches to create one inch thick strips, and knot the two pieces together to make a blanket.
I'm so with you on the balance thing. I'm kind of ramping up my de-cluttering efforts by having someone come in and help me a few days here and there. I'm not sure which I like best, the help or the company. She's younger, about 30, but it's just nice to have a female in the house to chat with, kind of whistling while we work!
