Homage to George Costanza

Today I choose to be different. I choose to make as many different movements as I can. So instead of following the usual path to work, I picked a new road. If I wanted to scream, I laughed - believe me, that is challenging. Whenever I wanted to resist I went with - when I wanted to allow - I resisted. It was interesting. Reminded me of the Seinfeld episode when George decides to do everything the opposite of what he thinks. Turns out to be the best decision of his life!

I think this is a good experiment because it forces me to be conscious all the time. I was aware of every decision I was making and although I did this very much I did not do it all the time. (I still need to keep my job!)

It was an act of growing patience to work on my jewelry in class today. At first I was failing miserably at the assignment. I kept at it and finally I had a bracelet and earrings. Imagine that!

Different - all my decisions
New - bracelet & earrings

Cool day!

  1. When you really want to see how it is to concentrate on your drawing, change hands. I am so pleased that my mentor made us do this although, at the time I resisted. It's sort of what you did, thanks for the reminder. Your biggest fan
