Like all working mothers I struggle to find time...time to fill all the necessary demands of each day, time to finish things, get the washing done. Time for more important things like quality time with the children. But most of all I struggle with finding time for myself - time to put on make up or commit to a drawing. Nonetheless, I want to find some time just for me. I know it will make me, and consequently, everyone else, less strung out if I succeed! So I'm starting small...with 2 achievable goals in mind. Rise a little earlier for a more relaxed morning, so I may attend to myself before the kids awake. Secondly, to fit drawing, even writing, in where I can. To keep carrying my sketchbook with me so I may use 10 minutes here and there. I may not produce any great work. But I will get practice and a sense of acheivement from that alone! Just like this little vintage clock here...one of my favourite possessions gave me a sense of happiness today regardless of its flawed proportions!
