Sfumato - November

I know I am early on this post, but I just read the chapter so I want to post while some things are fresh in my head! I enjoyed this chapter much more than the past chapter and felt like it was much more applicable to me. I enjoyed trying to describe ambiguity and anxiety in different ways. I felt like they were both very similar in my descriptions and both brought about similar feelings. As I read on I reflected on how to balance these two things in life. I feel like I have a fair amount of self-inflicted anxiety related to work and projects that I manage to take on. I wondered if this is a bad thing? I think I deal with this anxiety well, but sometimes it leads to premature decisions that I sometimes regret or that end up being more work for me in the long run. Although I consider this one of my weaknesses I also liked the comment on pg 89 - "Creative people have a bias towards action and are more likely to ask for forgiveness than permission.....creative people make more mistakes but they learn the most from them..." I hope this is true for me =)

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving - I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to seeing everyone in December!
