Meandering and Fellow Artist Promos

I have been very busy lately with photography.  Very busy for me, you understand, is busy relative to the speed of a day with two children whose legs are at most half as long as yours...in other words, not terribly.  But it's kept my mind occupied, even when I'm not physically going.  Today, for the first time in a while, I decided to take a day off of editing and thinking about editing, photo shoots and thinking about photo shoots, designing and thinking about designing...and I'm finding it difficult to sit still.  I wander around thinking there's something to do, but have trouble directing my thoughts into and all the way through an activity.

I am meandering.

Is there a cure?

I wonder if this is a result of our society's emphasis on production = success...
I wonder if this is a result of my genetic similarity to Judith Bergen ...
I wonder if this is a result of not doing much photography for so long, and then so much all at once...
I wonder if I like being busy with photography...
I wonder if this meandering is my mind "detoxing" ...
I wonder if I shouldn't have given myself a break, but just kept pushing through until it was all done...
I wonder...is it good? is it bad? is it a sign of something else? am I thinking too much?

As part of this meandering journey, here is something I allowed myself to be distracted by for a large part of this afternoon: a woman with whom Dad and I attended a cheese workshop (my Dad, the lactose intolerant, attended a cheese workshop just for fun - that tells you a lot about him) a couple of years ago phoned me today to let me know she had painted a watercolor from a photo she took that day...here's the painting...isn't it lovely?!  Well, sure it's lovely.  But it's distracting is what it is.  Click on the photo to see Diana Persson's website and gallery.  She's a very talented painter!  Her talent has kept me from doing all kinds of things I should have done this afternoon...yes, I am passing the buck.  But since she will likely never see this blog, I imagine she won't mind.  And in the meantime I'll feel better about my indecisive activity.  Oho!  I have just linked you to Diana Persson's website, so now I'm doing artist promos on my website - I've never done that before - I'm being uber-productive! It's all in your perspective.  Let's ask Dad what he thinks:  Hm, it's a tough one.

This painting is called, "Thinking of Cheese".

I think my mind kinda looks like swiss today.
