Not so late night...
I have spent the last two hours sifting through old emails and journal entries uncover what has been lying in a giant pile underneath me all of this time.
First, I researched the requests people have made of me (i.e. tattoos, website, business cards, general design work) that I have left neglected and shivering in the rain. I have done nothing to finish some of them and I have done nothing to start the rest. Well, no more my friends. I will not let these requests of my talents go unheeded. I promise myself that I will get some creative work done every night, even if it is just a few minutes. Before long I will be back on track to successfully finishing what I said I would do. I am tired of letting all of this stuff just go by the wayside. Get it done and get it done now. There is no rest for the wicked.
Then I started to look through some of my first Gmails and realized what I (we) have been through in the past two years. There has been turmoil and grief, sure; but there has also been unrelenting love and adoration unleashed upon one another. I enjoyed reading things like this:
i love you
i love you... a thousand times i love you, for everything you are, and everything you let me be. i could never ask for a better partner, a better friend or a more sublime meeting of two souls. i love you. not a question, not revocable, not questionable or shakeable. it's real, it's pure and we live another day to show it to each other.
*big squeeze*
Wow! I can't even begin to peel back the layers of depth from where this was coming from. It just...well, it meant a lot to me then and it certainly means a lot to me now. :) Thank you, and I love you, too.
I also realized that I posted more then I do now. I also emailed people quite regularly. That has gone by the wayside lately and I want to do something about that. I promise I will keep in touch with all of you and do a better job of it. I have probably missed out on so much of your lives this past year that I may feel like I do not know you any longer. That needs to change...
I guess what I got from all of this was a kick in the pants and an inspirational push that I have been needing for quite some time now... :)
