<p><span style="color: #888888;"><br />
</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #888888;">So when life hands you opportunities which push your art aside for a bit, what do you do to get yourself immersed in your work again?  I have talked about that before, a lot, on this blog, however I often wonder how other artist get themselves back on track.  Are you a person who craves routine, or are you like me and balk at a rote life?  Sometimes I think I would find some of this easier if I truly needed routine to move me through my days, however I find that kind of living to be unsettling.  Mainly, I think I need to give myself an art project! I am the queen of slow, you know.<br />
</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><br />
</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #888888;">At any rate, I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on the subject of re-immersion into work.  What is your wise advice?  I do have a few bits of excitement up my sleeve I will be sharing with you as 2011 unfolds.  I hope you have some wonderful plans, too.</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><br />
</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #888888;">Thanks to all of you who wrote me regarding my parent&#8217;s health issues.  They are both doing much better and hopefully they will both be back home and returning to their own lives soon.  All of your thoughts and blessings were greatly appreciated by all of my family.<br />
</span></h3>
