Why can't I make myself be there?<br />But I do agree that turning your mind to other things helps. I cook more, catch up on my reading, idly surf quilting blogs. And one day, the mojo returns. The idleness is not in vain. It's just that all the creativity is happening beneath the surface, gestating.emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495017635950782481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-38258126757896382212011-04-23T10:03:44.617-05:002011-04-23T10:03:44.617-05:00You'll jump back up and blow our minds!You'll jump back up and blow our minds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-77009792322848203382011-04-23T08:51:14.824-05:002011-04-23T08:51:14.824-05:00I'm sort of in that place too.
