Ponderings #47

Dear fellow traveler,

  Thank you for your touching responses to my last Pondering.  I also was very touched by that story.

  To me this Pondering is  of a much lighter nature.
  My question for a while was: what if I just gave up the resistance and admitted it didn't work, the way I had hoped it would??

  One of Murphy's Laws states the more something costs the harder it is to give it up , even if it doesn't do what it was intended to do.
  That's where I was for ten years,----- yep!!! ten years.
  I had set up my art studio in the basement with much excitement, ten years ago.  Lot of shelf space, great overhead lights  etc.  But there was something about going down the steps to the basement.  I had to push myself to go.  Once there I felt OK but not really.  The best art I feel I have done was at my former house in the spare bedroom on the second floor.  OH really!!
   Something about the basement!!

  I finally decided after much going back and forth in my mind,  to move most of the art supplies to the third floor room. 
I do still plan on using the basement for real messy projects and framing.  we will see!!!

However, this meant ordering a work table, bookcases, buying throw rugs and plastic to cover the carpet.  etc.   Then moving most of the existing furniture out of the room.  and carrying much up or down three flights of stairs.
Well!! we did it.  I consider it exercise.  and making a good decision.
  Its almost complete and it already feels better, more peaceful. 
 The room is bright and cheerful!
  Now time will time if my art motivation kicks in.

 Peace, ease, and happiness are my goals.

  Is there anything you feel resistance about?  and you keep on doing it anyway?
Maybe its time to cut the attachments, habit, routine and/ or loses and make a change.

   Change isn't always easy,  But sometimes it is necessary to get the inspiration working again.  I'm expecting great ideas to manifest.

Just Pondering on resistance to change.
