Do I want to be tortured, or do I want to be prolific? I'd rather be prolific--and it's FINALLY sinking in--failure isn't trying and not succeeding, failure is not trying at all...your posts always make me think!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182248478422009913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-5150663282741709732008-06-13T13:00:00.000-07:002008-06-13T13:00:00.000-07:00Howdy from the mountains,I had some downtime due t...Howdy from the mountains,<BR/><BR/>I had some downtime due to the heat, so I thought I'd check in with ya! Good post, Lucy. <BR/><BR/>I was pondering some of this yesterday, reflecting time past, things I wish I had done, or done better. Things that I let go and didn't do, due to various reasons; or waiting for 'someone else' to make them happen...<BR/><BR/>I think I've come to a time in my life where it's time to let a few things go and not chide myself for not 'making them happen'. But, there is also the desire to fulfill some of those other dreams that I don't want to let go...it is about overcoming fear, making myself, my dreams, a priority...not selfishly, or at the expense of others, but because with these dreams followed/fulfilled, I think others will benefit. <BR/><BR/>(I also think that the whole woman/wife/mother thing can go against us if we let it...as in, we put ourselves last and in a way lose ourselves...and that, is a loss to others)<BR/><BR/>Life is about ebb and flow, and being sensitive to which season you're in, and making the most of it! :)His Girl Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053180004186823673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-22911000619544513782008-06-13T09:20:00.000-07:002008-06-13T09:20:00.000-07:00tess--you are most gracious. thank you!rebecca--y...tess--you are most gracious. thank you!<BR/><BR/>rebecca--you sound a bit like charlie brown :-) best wishes to you and amelia on your grand adventure!!!Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-14064304028253967482008-06-13T06:25:00.000-07:002008-06-13T06:25:00.000-07:00Good Grief!

And of course it always when I say something profound :) Anyway let me repeat that I love your posts, they always bring up thoughts that might otherwise go unrecognized.

No, I guess not, but sometimes it's nice. As you say, ebb and flow.<BR/><BR/>On the question of defining your gifts (look forward to that post) let me give you a little hint: you display many of them here and in Lucy Creates!!! and not all of them are about writing and visual arts.Ted Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614757494008500523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-60687187507314243512008-06-12T07:47:00.000-07:002008-06-12T07:47:00.000-07:00thanks, C...it's always wonderful to have you stop...thanks, C...it's always wonderful to have you stop by with your bits of inspiration :-) here's to going with the flow! xoxoxoKayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-75332596327473921952008-06-11T21:40:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:40:00.000-07:00lucy, thanks so much for your own risk-taking and ...lucy, thanks so much for your own risk-taking and bravery. Ebb and flow describes much of the movement in my own journey these days. Right at the moment I am delighted to be immersed in flow again after what felt like an ebb last week.
