You guys. I dropped the proverbial ball. With nearly a week behind us and no new content from these parts of the woods, I've been feeling pretty guilty. Pretty lame. I found myself thinking of what I would say when I did come back, to apologize for the lack of, well, anything.
'I'm swamped with the shop launch,' 'I've been housesitting all week and been in between houses,' 'My day job is super exhausting this week and when I get home the last thing I want to do is turn on my laptop and stare at yet another computer screen.' While these statements are all true, they don't really matter. What matters is that I didn't keep up with my self-imposed quota. My drive for productivity here and in all aspects of my life (Hello, Type A personality characteristics! Nice to see you again!) left me feeling inadequate, which led me to that annoying and destructive spiral of comparison. And well, comparison is the thief of joy, remember?
Just when I was ready to call it a wash and just pick up the ball next week (and oh what a week it looks like it will be! In a good way!), I read this little piece of genius from Megan Gilger. For that, thank you Megan.
See you guys next week, and let's all enjoy some real life time this weekend.
