What I do and don't do
It seems that more and more I have to choose carefully what I want to take up my time. There was a period in my life when I was all about socializing and seeing art openings. Not so much anymore. I have a vague and intermittent yearning for those things but I am happier to work at home, to read and write, and to live with Michele and enjoy our life together. Each day contains only so much time. A few hours can be spent looking, or researching, or writing, or making calls. I prefer to be focused, calm, and productive, as many of my artist friends surely are as well. I should emulate them rather than give in to the frenetic pace of public events or the obsessiveness of one who just sits and spins. Social media is a great distraction. I have to be inspired by both what's out there and also what's in me, which I can only discover if I keep looking.
