But it may be that I just didn't give it enough of a chance. It really does require that mindset of winging it I think, so maybe this is my year to try it again!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-21073253356562697452019-01-19T20:16:19.035-08:002019-01-19T20:16:19.035-08:00I’m not a resolutions sort of person, and I only s...I’m not a resolutions sort of person, and I only set a word of the year once, and it didn’t really stick. But I admire people who are able to use the word to take action. I love your choice for this year. I have been doing improvisational piecing a lot this year, which I guess could also be called winging it, and I love it. So I’m right there with you on your word choice.Cheryl Gebharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-58285373519735349112019-01-19T19:19:36.809-08:002019-01-19T19:19:36.809-08:00Thanks Francoise!

I've watched with interest your own journey of letting things drop away and really listening to your heart and body. Perhaps it's a natural part of aging but probably most of us fight it. I'm done fighting I think! There's a real peace that comes when one lets go and wings it. :-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-40183558063470879082019-01-03T11:57:19.915-08:002019-01-03T11:57:19.915-08:00Jan, that's exactly the spirit I hope to recap...Jan, that's exactly the spirit I hope to recapture this year. Once I had so many exhibit opportunities here, I started focusing more on working up exhibit-level pieces rather than experimenting. Not totally, of course, but I do think I did a lot more of that "what if" thinking and trial runs in the period before I became an exhibiting member of POAC. Just looking through old blog posts reminds me of how much more experimenting I once did. Time to stretch out of this constricting box!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-23441392067663607792019-01-02T13:32:02.404-08:002019-01-02T13:32:02.404-08:00Mary!

Have you been peeking inside my brain as I try to fall asleep each night??? ;-) I'm hoping the "wing it" mentality will also apply to more than just my creative life. I've never been very spontaneous, more comfortable in a scheduled day to day life. But that hasn't always served me well and so maybe, just maybe, with "wing it" whispering in my ear, I'll be more apt to toss plans on a whim and let a little less of life pass me by.

Guess you could say I'm winging it these days as well, going with the flow, and really attending to what my insides are telling me about this, that, and the other thing. The body knows...the head wants to try to understand and usually talk the body out of what it knows. Glad you've found a silver lining to your year of physical limitation. Limits are good. There's a lot of freedom in limiting ourselves, oxymoronically. Hope it's a great year for you. xxCate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-56810919446536231062019-01-02T07:08:57.265-08:002019-01-02T07:08:57.265-08:00I like 'wing it'!
