I have been an artist for most of my life, for over a decade I have been an educator, in the last 7 years I have become a dog mommy. But it has been a long time since I have identified as being an athlete. I am currently on a journey, I have been majorly changing my health habits. As I change what and how I eat, increase my fitness and adjust for ever higher goals, I have suddenly discovered that I am becoming an athlete. This is great and I am pleased with this change. But it also feels like it is coming with an unanticipated cost. The cost of loosing touch of the artist part of me.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t made any art outside of my classroom for months. I still make little project examples for my students and that is fun, relaxing and still good. But not really &#8220;MY art.&#8221; I keep thinking that once school ends I will have more time to be both an athlete and an artist, but I will also be busy with being a gardener and a dog mommy. I can&#8217;t fathom ~not~ being an artist. So I will need to work to rediscover that part of me, find my muse, get back into the swing of things&#8230; or whatever.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Skagit Spring Classic Cycling Event by Charger's Mommy, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shebaduhkitty\/4590550904\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4011\/4590550904_119e97b2d0.jpg\" alt=\"Skagit Spring Classic Cycling Event\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Until then&#8230;.
