random note on inspiration...


some days i am not sure if the day is going to be a handful of bitters or perk up like a bouquet of spring tulips.

i wish i could count on it like i can count on the fact that thursday follows wednesday, but i cannot. inspiration has a mind of its own.

i looked in the mirror a few hours ago and i thought, "if you want things to change, you have to do something."

i walked back to my desk and did a few busy work things that were very helpful to my boss. (things that i normally get a little cranky about.) then i sat down and sent out a few emails about photography. particularly, i emailed someone that i should have emailed four months ago to ask for help. that led to another email which landed me an opportunity. that led to a conversation which led me to even more help.

then, i started looking at professional photographers for serious inspiration... with a critical eye as opposed to cowering and withering and feeling unworthy. i started a list of things that i feel i need to accomplish and would like to accomplish to be prepared for this wedding.

it's only lunch time and i've already changed so much--but i'm not even close to finished! i've got a lovely bunch of tulips in my hand, and i intend enjoy them and appreciated them until the last pedal falls.
