Today, with a little help from Molly, I remembered one of my favorite quotes...."A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do"....from the very fabulous, simple man - Bob Dylan.
I used to keep this quote taped to the counter at French General in New York and I referred to it often. Today, while we were digging, knee deep in the basement at Tinsel Trading, I realized how lucky I was to be doing exactly what I wanted to be doing. When I met Marcia, from Tinsel, over 15 years ago, all I ever wanted to do was to get to the basement. Today - as I ran up and down the stairs, covered in a layer of grime, I realized how lucky I was to be creating something exactly the way I had thought about it years ago. It's funny when you get to a certain point in your life and you get to actually make decisions - how you want to live, work and play.
now that's a great quote. i think i should tape it somewhere i can see it daily. love that you're digging and creating what you want and how you want! go you!

you realize
that your day's work
was actually play?
:-)
this happens to me
when i spend the day in the garden.
**oh look
what all i did
while i was having fun**
which goes to prove that time is immaterial. You can't give up if what you want hasn't happened after a few years. sometimes you have to wait 15 years. I have to keep reminding myself of this very thing, so I'm happy to have read your post today.
