Bound and Unbound

Open and Bound Images by Bern

Some of my time I spend worrying about the future.  I do find that moderate worry fuels my aspirations.  The worrying that is most inspirational has to do with large picture issues that I can have an opinion about and on which that my actions will likely have little effect.  More immediate issue like finances are less aspirational even though I believe that I can have an effect on them. As a younger person I never really thought I had regrets but as my work life gets more circumscribed I find that I do have some regrets.  A moderate amount of regret seems to give me some insight about how I should live right now. An example of a minor regret I have is I believe I should have done more drawing and watched fewer commercials on TV.   I do have to be honest and say I don't have any nagging regrets.  I am an uneasy and content person. 
I have started doing more drawing and painting after having spent quite a bit of time starting my counselling practice, planning and completing some changes in our yard.  Both these projects have been satisfying but for shear pleasure I find that I return to drawing and painting.   I have always returned to these activities.   It unbinds me from my daily ration of worry and regret.
