How To Be Original When There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
Photo quote de jour
How many times can we reinvent the wheel? Ad agencies attempt it every day to part us from our hard earned dollars. Artists, designers,writers and musicians try to be original but how many succeed in a world flooded with copycat derivatives ? How do we know when we've succeeded? By the feeling of I know-when-I see-it freshness. With so much going on in my personal and professional life, I slip up here at times, get lazy and sometimes think of quitting. The awful truth is: it's bloody hard to be original, fresh, innovative every day. Cut me some slack, okay?

You don't have to be original. Just be yourself.
Blogging is very time-consuming. And draining. But you do it very well.

Rene Char: "An act is virgin, even when repeated." I think the same thing is true of a thought. Every time you think it, it's as if no one had ever thought it before.

Layla, I think everyone has the same problem, trying to find something original to write about. So you just have to be yourself and write about what is going on in your life. Write about the kitties more like someone else suggested. I love the picture of the tree. Pictures are terrific.
