Climbed at the gym with Shawn. Led a bunch; felt strong. Did some bouldering. Now my knee and forearm feel stressed - I think I did a few twisty moves with the knee, or just too many leg presses. Gotta watch it - want to be healthy for spring.
Invited to Darren and Sandy's for dinner; I invited them here but they had food that needed cooking. Ross got his Honda 450 out and running! Cleaned the brakes and took it for a spin.
We did errands and stuff yesterday and spent a little time at the Northrup King Building. Steve Hemingway now has a studio/storefront there. He is a wonderful ceramicist who I took a few classes from. Going to the NKB and seeing artists and their work always makes me excited and inspired. I just started a new class at the Edina Art Center, and I am determined to go in with a plan each week (except for this last week when I had no motivation). I have such energy and excitement for art! I must learn to get around my blocks, my mental blocks; I have huge issues that I believe have grown out of a lifetime of working... issues with time use and focus and the desire to make the "right" thing right away. I have lost an essential aspect of art-making; the beginner's mind, the focus on the journey rather than the end result. I need to relish the journey and also feel like I'm on a particular path.
Also stuff at the Danish furniture store is mega-inspiring. I do love scandinavian design. So clean and pure.
