I found this blog, Woolgathering, recently. Her name is Elizabeth Perry and she posts simple paintings and drawings every day and recently celebrated her 1500th post. I can’t imagine doing anything useful every single day for 1500 days, she inspires me.
She, like me, grooves on that quote “If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.” Here’s what she says:
Will power doesn’t count much. Delight does. Find something that delights you enough, and you will keep doing it anyway. Even on days when the biggest obstacles are your own expectations.
So my wish is to keep finding the delight. To have the chance to be present, slow down, and pay attention for a moment. Every day.
A small treat.
Another breath.
Another drawing.
