A Habit takes 3 weeks to establish. So let me stop actively working on ideas or art or sewing and any comments that I might keep here stop. The habit isn't established yet.

Then the weather turned rainy, gloomy and cold. Atleast it isn't snowing. But it's put me into a whiney depressed mood. Not a mood for working. So I'm packing for AQT next week.

Add to that the crushing results of Tuesday's election (my city council is back intact; and the country is just too conservative for me.) and I'm feeling defeated.

But yesterday I walked the dogs. and while I walked I felt a bit better. Now I need to work on positive habits.

Found this great quote online. Will be meditating on this today. I'm driving an hour east of my home to check out a dog boarder (desperate times lead to desperate actions). Lots of road time to contemplate in. Remember to take my camera in case of inspiration.

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
