Well, here we are Day 8 of this brand New Year.
There must be something about the 8th day, the last time I posted it was the 8th day of December.
Hmmmm, interesting?
Yes, eight days in and I still don't have a WORD or a THEME or A LIST...
and believe me the gremlins are just lovin' that!!!!!!!
Oh yes, they've been nattering on quite incessantly these past few days...
***
"What NO WORD! NO THEME! NO DIRECTION!"
"Still thinking instead of doing, are we???"
"Floundering already???"
"Tick~Tock. Tick~Tock. Tick~Tock"
"What a waste of a perfectly good year."
"So much for that clean slate."
"So much for getting things done."
"Tick~ Tock. Tick~Tock. Tick~Tock."
"You still haven't sent that card to *** or that gift to *** or ordered those prints for *** ...
weren't you going to do all that by the end of last week!!!"
"Oh well dear, there's always next year to shine"
"What still NO WORD! NO THEME! NO LEAPING!!!!!"
"Tick~tock. Tick~tock. Tick~tock."

Lucky for me Day 8 coincided with a timely Love Thursday post by the ever~inspiring
Jen Lemen entitled
Making Peace with a Noisy Gremlin ;-) It comes with a virtual big hug, a healthy dose of hope and suggestions for those of us looking for a little bit of quiet from the nattering!
Tonight, I'm giving this suggestion a try::
Promise yourself you will sit in your chair and make something, no matter how ugly or imperfect or strange or far from your far flung dreams.
It's true, I may not have a word, or a theme or list...
but I've got card stock and an alphabet of letters THAT SPARKLE.
Tonight, I'm going to make something and mail it off with a kiss...
and before I head to bed I'll hit publish on this post.
We'll just see what those gremlins have to say tomorrow!
Happy New Year, 2009!
with love, Kirsten xo
