And sometimes one day at a time is too long. Sometimes, it's an hour at a time :) <br />The thing is, no matter what you're doing right this minute, you are still you, full of creative spirit, with an incomparable eye and talent. Forget the towel. Hold onto that!

I think I feel frustrated, because I was in extreme pain with the facial nerve issue for a year an a half and then right when I was getting that somewhat under control with medication the issues with my knee started. Both have made it hard for me to get out and do all the things I would normally do but I guess the trick is taking one day at a time and to keep pushing. There have been times when I've thought about throwing in the towel but if I'm not an artist or a blogger and I'm not taking photos then who am I?Kathryn Dychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175563748388497142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918334757012103109.post-91666798802711054182012-11-08T17:06:17.293-05:002012-11-08T17:06:17.293-05:00It's ironic to read this now, since I've b...It's ironic to read this now, since I've been spending the afternoon catching up on blogs and I've gone through several of yours, thinking each time, "How does she capture such magical images?" So, first I would say that, while you may feel as if you've lost your spark, it's still shining bright in the work you are posting here.<br />Second, as others have written above, you've gone through so much lately. You're going to be tired. Last year, when I got a concussion, everything slowly. Stopped. I couldn't write or read AT ALL for months. And I thought I was Done, with a capital D. It comes back. It's who you are. Have faith -- I do.

And it is hard to be patient, to wait for the photography muse to return - that feeling that we have taken our last good photograph is so disheartening and painful. I think we just have to keep picking up the camera and trust that it will return - as it always has in the past. Brendahttp://gottgraphicsdesign.comnoreply@blogger.com
