When I agitate...Just keep going and lovin' it! When I agitate over which and when and how much, I use up energy that could be part of the creative process, for any of my endeavors. The cogitation ends up being a waste. I just try to keep my priorities in order, that's all.<br /><br />Puck is very cute and will surely offer a ton of chuckles--and new distractions! But it will be such fun!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-41005487441345370872010-05-26T10:57:24.122-07:002010-05-26T10:57:24.122-07:00Kathy--Puck's imminent arrival has pushed much...Kathy--Puck's imminent arrival has pushed much else out of mind!
