I had a totally crabby post today.

It was called "Things I Don't Get" and it was a bit of a rant about a few situations that have totally pissed me off lately. Mostly they involved people saying one thing and doing another.

Lucky for you, I took it down.

I'm still monumentally overwhelmed with my life right now. I'm still at sea about exactly what I should do next. And many things that would normally be merely annoying seem like major irritants.

But harping about these problems, satisfying as it could be, would not solve them. I HATE people who sit around and complain about their lot in life and never change one little thing to make it different.

So I'm not going there. Not today.

This morning I'm going to walk downtown to my friend Judy's coffee bar (Prime Roast) and get a huge cuppa coffee. I'm going to sit at the wonderful table I made for her store and marvel at the leaps of ingenuity I came up with to create it. (It's a faux museum exhibit on the history of coffee, with tiny displays and "artifacts", with accompanying text written in high museum tone. In the spirit of The Museum of Jurrasic Technology in San Diego, CA, some of it is true, some of it is not true--and I defy you to determine which is which. You can see the MJT here: http://www.mjt.org/

Then I'm walking home and getting down to work.

Today I'm going to get one thing done on my endless to-do list.

I'm going to clear one small space in my studio.

Tonight I'm going out dancing with my women friends--it's Girls Night Out!

And tomorrow I'm going to gather a few close friends and ask them to help me brainstorm about what some good "next steps" could be.

That's what I DO "get"...

Actions speak louder than words.

Don't gripe. DO.
