Mojo- what to do when you lose it

Actually, I have no idea. I definitly go in spurts of creativity. Some days I feel so overwhelmed that as much as I try to do something nothing ends up getting done. Lately I think I have been in a slump, and not due to lack of projects. I am about 12 technique cards behind, 2 of my Deck of Me cards, the entire month of July's FUN class and the Handmade book.

Also the handouts for My Freedom are currently stacked up nice and neat and staring me in the face. I have been slowly pecking at it but for whatever reason I am stuck on what size of album I want to do and so I haven't picked my papers out yet and so I am way behind. I tell myself that it is fine, which it is because this is not a hobby that should cause stress, but I am just that type of person. Heck, I have had the Wreck This Journal book for at least two years and can't bring myself to destroy it like you should. I know that if I just "let go and started" that I am sure I would feel better, but I was taught to respect books. Working on it though.

Finished a very good book this morning. The August book of the month on BPS is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. The most wonderful book I have read in awhile. I was so grateful to see another side to this conflict our world is currently engaged in. To see that it only takes the determination of one person to change the lives of thousands is humbling and makes you stop and ask yourself exactly what you are doing with your life. I know I don't do near enough, but I do try. I am so glad I have read this book.

Yesterday afternoon I drove my Amish friends to Walmart and picked up a few things for the girls for school. While looking through the books and magazines I came across another book that I have seen alot of chatter on, and having seen many pieces on the news and youtube I had to get the book by Randy Pausch The Last Lecture. I am looking forward to starting on it. I was so touched by his story.

Well, despite the cloudy, dreary weather outside I think I will light some good smelly candles, throw on some jammin' tunes and dance around the house while no one is here to make fun of me. I am not a big fan of being totally by myself, and I need to shake of the drearies!
