Being Stuck But Not For Long

Being stuck is how I learned I am a cartoonist, A poet, a writer, a painter. Being stuck is what makes me Seek something new that will interest me. I know when my brain needs something new. Her dendrites are crying for another language, vocabulary words, new methods of painting. I know I must feed her, so she can be the most creative happy fun-loving dancing self she can be. This is when I begin learning something new. I do not care what it is - racquetball, paintball, Harry Potter, something I did not know about yesterday. To loosen her and allow her to be the best she can be. I either pick up a book about something I have never learned or I pick up a hobby. If I have a broken ankle, I click on the History Channel to feed my dendrite highway and retain enthusiasm.

You know I hate doing nothing. Even when I'm sitting in s doctor's waiting room, I'm penning or sketching or working a puzzle. With the exception of a good Zen meditation; my mind is always as busy as my hands. Love this; "fav'd".

I get so much done in a truck waiting for a friend to show up "on time" or "ha ha - one friend who always is 30 minutes late " it is hilarious. One time I had no paper and I implored a waiter to bring me 6 napkins. By the time she arrived I had 9 poems on napkins.

I am thinking of something new; I am ready and you know how fast I can switch when I need to.

I cannot allow myself to be stuck very long; it kills me.
