It's an elusive thing, I think, and I don't think I'm ready to reach it only because it leads to contentment, which leads to no more creativity, at least in my opinion. It's good to reach :).JEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043891292719086478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806244977869265498.post-21746760342612627592010-07-29T11:53:25.571-04:002010-07-29T11:53:25.571-04:00Ahh...

I have to stop and remind myself that from time to time.Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190361875174742351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806244977869265498.post-63511030019687379362010-07-29T08:08:02.795-04:002010-07-29T08:08:02.795-04:00Such a great discussion.

Rowling and Stephanie Meyer go on to work VERY hard and probably feel immense pressure to somehow replicate their initial success. Life is about peaks and valleys for me. There are ups and downs, but it's being able to pause and take stock of the moments your describe above as happiness. It's a state of being you can achieve anytime you want, not just at the end of something.<br /><br />Thanks for an excellent post!<br />MarissaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.com
