When I started my little Color A Day project, I planned to churn out
one color every day for 365 days. It was, I thought, a good plan. How
difficult could it be to keep up with one little color posting each
day? Right?
Well, it’s been one month so far. A month with 31 days in it, and I’ve completed only 28 Color A Day posts. (The Horror! The Guilt!) OK, so I’ve missed a few days. Frankly, it’s been more of a challenge than I thought it would be to manage a color post every single day. And I feel badly (GUILTY!), about not keeping up my promise to create a color every day. However, I’m going to pull up my big-girl panties….I’m not going to beat myself up about it, in spite of my neurotic impulses to feel guilty about it. I mean, are the “post-every-day” police going to come after me? Not likely.
So, I’m refining my personal blogging directive as I head into month number two of Color A Day. Although every attempt will be made to create a daily post, if I don’t hit the mark…I’m going to say that’s OK. Screw the Guilt. And at the end I might not have 365 popsicle sticks…maybe I’ll only have 300. That’s still a stinkin’ big pile of sticks. Right?
Furthermore, since today is the first of the month, coupled with the fact that I am exhausted, and plumb out of inspiration…(hey, Plum! maybe tomorrow’s color…), I’m instituting a new element to my project: on the first of each month I’ll post a photo of the pile of sticks from the previous month. Color post complete. Guilt assuaged!
