Creative Encouragement Everywhere!

I struggle with being a bit too busy, as I have mentioned many times before. Something I tend to always struggle with is having too many projects or things going on and not enough time in the day to really devote to them. I seem to go through these cycles of getting things under control and then allowing them to go a bit haywire again with over-commitment of time and activity. Then I inevitably burn out and need a serious break. 

Sometimes I need to remind myself to take little breaks in the middle of busy days of work, to ward off that burnt out feeling. For me it is often a very simple little break, like staring out the window for a few minutes or heading to a book store for a cup of coffee and some browsing. So... that is exactly what I did and here is what I found:

This little guy was running around outside my studio windows for a little while. Because of the way my building is partially in a hillside, he couldn't really see me down in my studio staring up at him, so I got a good view!

Later in the day, I met with my friend to talk about teaching art and this is what the barista at Malaprops gave me! A little latte love... gotta love it!
So, I am trying to open my eyes in the midst of the busy-ness (that, quite frankly, I do to myself!) and be inspired by the things around me, be they ever small and humble, but of greatest importance.
