The past two days, for instance, found me working in my studio close to 12 hours each day. And I still have more to do. There’s the B&B Show every day. I have a couple of show podcasts still in need of editing before I can put them on the Website. I have some voiceover work waiting for me, and I have some film audio I’m still working on for the morning show. There’s also a project I’m working on in my spare time for my pastor and a script I’m trying to finish.
Excuses, excuses.
So should the blog continue to exist? Where should this fall in the priority list?
I have this mental image of myself. I’m wearing flip flops and a tropical shirt. I’m sitting at a table just inside a doorway off a covered porch. The door is open and outside the fronds of the palm trees lining the porch are swaying to and fro in a gentle breeze blowing off the sea. I’m writing in a notebook but I’m thinking about taking a nap. Or a walk. I move toward neither inclination at a nice slow pace.
It’s just a mental image but it seems to fit more comfortably than 12 hour days in the studio.
Einstein is quoted as saying, “If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.”
And then there is this, from Bob Dylan: “What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.”
I think I’ll take a walk.
In my flip flops.
