<p>One of the things I wrote about yesterday was how I can find all kinds of ways to lapse into unconsciousness.</p>
<p>After I stopped shopping online, I discovered I could also lose huge chunks of time by trying to create the perfect image to represent an idea I wanted to write about.</p>
<p>I love the trading card design I created for the post about Lack or Love AND I spent most of the day making it. I love the image I created. It&#8217;s really cool. I&#8217;m going to use it as a template for one of my projects. Still, I feel as though I spent a fair amount of time being pretty obsessive-compulsive.</p>
<p>I think there&#8217;s a middle ground.</p>
<p>The image created for this post took me about 15 minutes using Photoshop. It&#8217;s my &#8220;good enough&#8221; image so I really can have more time today to experience the gift today is.</p>
