Reboot - Follow Through

[dolphins_log]

Every so often, usually because of a convention, I experience a resurgence of creativity.   It takes me down my path of various pursuits; writing, drawing, painting,  photography.  

Then it fades.  Something comes up and distracts me.   Something frustrates me.  Often, at the very point of jumping on a creative spark, life steps in and makes demands on my time.  Eventually the creative surge fades, or even the activity of my desire is completely forgotten, to the point where if it ever comes back there is a little thought bubble "Oh yeah, I was interested in that, wasn't I?"
There's even a little "Brain fog" if you will.  -{Love that part of "Joe -vs- The Volcano."}-  It's hard to think through a particular point, and I just want to sit in the sun and clear my head, meditate maybe, think of "nothing" in all it's myriad hues.

I've been without work for over 2 months now, so I've had plenty of time to chase down some of these creative avenues.  I've chased down a few, the art room has new lighting.  I've played with some of the thousands of photos in my image library and made Easter cards.
Still, I could have done so much more.  

I've found that eating right, and getting exercise, gets the thought processes rolling.  I've gotten a bit addicted to vegetables and I keep them in the house.  I tend to reach for carrots of cucumbers rather then bread a cereal, though I see where it would be so easy to fall back into other habits.  Specially when Juli wants a nice gooey toasted cheese sandwich for dinner, or hot dog roll-ups.   I'm not apposed to cooking two meals, and I've done that a number of times. 

Perhaps I should bring "List Man" back out of hibernation and map out a direction.   List man can do anything!
