I become a purpose-focused machine. I get hot, tired and yes, after a few hours, bored. But I get 'er done. - Other days, though, I give myself permission to wander aimlessly. I weed here, prune there, act on inspirations. I forget the gloves and abuse the jewelry, but wow, I feel really good when I'm done!]]>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:19:41 -0400
