I am heading back home today. Plan on getting in about 8-9 hours drive time. Not going the scenic route but will drive the interstates. It was a good sabbatical but will be glad to be home. Enjoy your weekend.

Myrtle Beach
We had snow yesterday and highs only to the mid 20’s and more of the same today. I’m tired of the cold and snow already. I think a walk on the beach is what I need. Yeah! Sand between my toes and in my shorts. Yeah! Maybe Myrtle Beach, like this guy. Yeah! Enjoying uplifting scenery. Yeah!

Sea Shells
When it’s 25 degrees outside I’m not as interested in going outside. So, while backing up my images from this past week I noticed these shells sitting on my desk. I picked them up a few weeks ago while walking the beach in Myrtle Beach. I wouldn’t mind walking along that sandy beach right now.

Don't Worry, Be Creative
“Worrying about doing something new ends up stunting creative growth. Being creative does NOT require doing something new. It requires doing something that is authentically your real personal and true vision. If you take away anything from this blog post, I hope it’s that.” Scott Bourne
What a powerful post Scott wrote for me, sort of like a personal letter. There are several nuggets in his post, I posted one of them a couple days ago. My history has included a lot of worry. As I’ve aged in years and have a few more experiences under my belt, those worries are far less frequent. I no longer work in engineering because I do not want to wake up in the middle of the night worrying about a problem that needs solved. In fact I could have used his quote back then. It nice to live the day as it unfolds before us and not struggle to make it way we want it. When I live the moment I can be more creative. Walking the beach for me is nothing new, done it a few times and love it. I’ll do it again, living the moment and see what creative juices flow without worries.
