My birthday was last week and you know what that means... Yes, I failed miserably to meet my 50 paintings by 50 goal.
I'm trying to think of where it all went wrong and all I can come up with is "Disney World". There are few things scarier to me than spring break crowds at Disney World, but my sister and I still decided to take the kids to Disney World over break. I'm just a bit of a planner and I''m all for crowd avoidance, so this meant hours spent on fast passes, dining reservations, parade routes, wait times for rides, etc. Maybe I do had too much time on my hands! Had I just accepted the crowds, I might have stayed on track.
We did have a blast on the trip and my crowd avoidance techniques worked like a charm; however, my painting was derailed. After Disney, I was planning an event for Peanut's elementary school, then a trip to Ireland, then summer already. Next thing I knew it was my birthday.
I guess you could say that life got in the way again. Now that I'm 50, I'm older and wiser (yah, right!) so I'm not going to sweat it. I'll just set a new goal!
