Determined to Stay the Course
Monday, February 19, 1996
I have determined to stay the course despite emotional storms and tides. There is tremendous strength in this determination.
God as Fellow Artist
Saturday, February 17, 1996
Julia Cameron writes that God does not think our ideas for art trivial. She thinks God is an artist and artists like fellow artists. I've wondered about this for years, often thinking of God as an artist, but in doing so, found my own work trivial and crude by comparison.
Snowing and Down at Week's End
Friday, February 16, 1996
It's the end of the day, Friday. A wet snow is descending happily upon us, enclosing us for the weekend.
How am I feeling? A little lost right now. Tired at the end of the week, mostly. I feel as though I were trying to build a life on quicksand. As fast as I build, it sinks into oblivion. I must have faith in myself - one day, one project at a time.
Writing has a way of helping to focus my thoughts in a linear fashion, instead of them banging around inside my head all at once. These words are my lifeline, constantly saving me from drowning in a sea of self preoccupation and internal chaos.
I would like to try art again this evening after vacuuming.

Poor Investment
Thursday, February 15, 1996
Listening to the radio, it seems like there are more and more references to the environmental meltdowns affecting our long term future. One commentator said this morning that the likelihood of people accumulating a million dollars in an RRSP and actually being able to use it in 2020 was remote.
Tired
Thursday, February 15, 1996
I made an interesting discovery yesterday. When I'm overtired I tend to overeat. Also, my creativity is down to zero.
