Friday Catch-up

That is right, CATCH up, not KETCH up.  Sadly.  I have a number of things to do for work.  Sort of need to prioritize, but have this feeling like I would really like to avoid that step because it may just reveal a massive amount of SOMETHING needing doing! 

So my creativity time.... not going so well this week I must admit!  I have taken some time out to read.  Did take some time for photos and to upload them.  I have a couple of ideas for a painting I would really like to do.  Hmmm.  Two people in the last two days requested that I submit a creative work for Auctioning to benefit non-profits.  Why does this terrify me??  I think it must be that I question other's belief in my abilities and artistic talent.  Silly, I know.  I cannot help but hold myself up against others.... and be put in awe of their talent.  That being said, I think I WILL make the jump and have a few shots transferred onto a canvas -- like a painting and submit them.  Why not.  If no one likes them, I need not know!  Maybe one of the shots will move someone.  Isn't that all we strive for when creating something?  To express ourselves and touch another?

Where else am I at these days you ask.... Happy.  Smiling.  Feeling an inner glow-- despite the challenges of life.  My Volunteer Management course inspires me every week.  This week again it lit something inside me.  Once again, the desire to pursue my Masters was lit.  And an area of limited research is Volunteerism, but specifically looking at it in Rural Areas and how Urban Trends will play out at the Rural level.  Oh, how much I want to jump in.   I even looked at the MSc in Rural Studies at Guelph.... perhaps....  should apply... hmmmm.   Why not? 

So, there is my week in a nutshell!  Documented for myself, and anyone else who cares to read.  I will come back with a focused writing once I clear some of the paperwork, jobs and STUFF that seems to always need doing!
