SWITCHED AND SWITCHING

....and so, that's just the way things are with me. I find out about something and I sit on it, let it brew, taste a bit, let it brew some more. Then, I make my move.

I move on a vibe, what can I tell you. I know when it's right and when it's wrong. When it's time to do, I do. When it's not, I don't. It ain't complicated.

I knew for a long time that this is what I wanted. A lot of creative people had made the switch long ago. They told me they did, but they never told me why. I guess there aren't many words for it. Since I'm a seriously creative person with one book done, two more in creation, and a documentary film that I seriously want to get started on, I figure there's no time like the present. My work is too important to me to risk losing it, drowning in that vast blue space called "Sorry, Ma'am. We couldn't retrieve it."

So I had been talking about getting it and talking about getting it, but how many of us know there's a difference between talking and doing? While you're busy talking, somebody else is doing.

So it was Mother's Day yesterday and Spouse handed me something flat and heavy and said, "Here, honey. Happy Mother's Day. You deserve it."

And I smiled, grinned from ear to ear, and said, "Thank you sweetness, you're the greatest."
