focus on life: routine...or lack there of
Almost three years ago, and for many reasons, my routine began to fall apart. It seemed that I was always in a different place, doing something different each day - adapting but at the same time questioning, stalling, coasting.
Now, finally, a new normal has been settled upon and it's time to find my new "routine".
Because of this (not so little) struggle, "routine" is the ideal prompt for this week's Focus on Life series. Personally, routine is tied directly to motivation, inspiration, creativity, purpose and direction.
And so for now, my only "set in stone" daily routine begins like many others...lots of coffee, breakfast and emails. After that...
...it's back to the studio. finally. I've decided to move forward and see where the path leads.
I was just thinking about you the other day...thinking this very thing, that you would be able to settle down now and gather yourself together. I am very happy for you, that finally, no more traveling and living apart.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very good..'new beginning'. xo
Thank you Sherri! Yes, no more traveling and living apart. Yay!
Deleteour lives take many twists and turns along the way; new challenges. Love your fabric stashes showing here, and yes, like you - early morning starts begin with caffeine and checking in on my computer...
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole! I'm in love with the new fabric, too. Since I'm late starting I'm trying to work on a few new bags which will transition easily from summer to fall. :-)
DeleteI like your picture this week, especially the fabric and the promise of a new creation.
ReplyDeleteI love that grey fabric - so beautiful for a bag. Hope you settle happily into your new routine.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that so many of us have the same routine; coffee, breakfast, catch up on emails and blogs, and that's where the routine ends.
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful fabrics!
Enjoy your new routine!
I agree Alice, how most of us have the same routine in the mornings....do you think it is because that is the norm in the US? In fact I think this has been a practice since the beginning of time....lol. My sister doesn't drink coffee, but she has to have a coke first thing in the morning...so does my son...he has to have some kind of soda....how funny when you really start thinking about it....I am curious now to see how many more of us follow the same routing....
ReplyDeleteOh yes, coffee must be the start, then the rest just seems to fall into place. Enjoy your new routine, sure it will be very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are settling down for you
ReplyDeleteIt's good that things are settling down for you. I like the new blog look.
ReplyDeleteYay! I so get it and know that you're going to feel great happiness and peace in getting back to this routine. Look forward to seeing your new work!
ReplyDeleteAnother morning routine, mine usually ends with the mid-day routine of anoutside job. The idea of working from home appeals and terrifies!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Lori!!
ReplyDeleteI think the word "routine" get a really bad rap sometimes, as there is most definitely something to be said about having one.
Happy Sunday to you!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIBE!!!
