This month, the prompt at Color This Quote at Artists in Blogland is "Seize the Day."
But let's face it ... we all put off starting new things, because we think the moment isn't exactly right.
Sometimes, when faced with starting a something new or a project, I feel like I can't unless I'm completely organized. What comes to mind is that phrase, get your ducks all in a row. I think I mask my fear of failure by putting all of these organizational roadblocks in front of me to put off starting or trying. But here's the thing. The ducks are NEVER all in a row. So it's time to stop putting things off while I'm waiting for the perfect organization, the perfect conditions, the perfect time. It's time to SEIZE THE DAY!
I hope you'll play along at Artists in Blogland! SEIZE THE DAY!

Well, quack quack.. so true, isn't it. These duckies are adorable. They look a bit mischievous. You should teach a drawing class. Just sayin.

ReplyDeleteYour ducks are simply ducky dear friend.
ReplyDeleteI happened to dust today, a rare occurrence at my house, but when I dusted my little Jessica Sporn art flowers on their easels I felt their textured parts and fell in love with them all over again! Thank you again and again and again!
So fun Jessica...I think you have let your humour and wisdom out to play together!!
