In the (very fun) 2010 movie ‘Knight and Day,’ Cameron Diaz looks at Tom Cruise and delivers this line (after he talks about all of the fun things he’ll do…someday). For some reason, this line stuck in my head…and I found myself thinking about all of my “someday” wishes.
You know…get a quilt into the big show…get published…teach…etc, etc. I have many very talented friends who, for one reason or another, haven’t taken the plunge yet.
Sometimes you need a catalyst. For me it was Pokey Bolton’s inspired campaign to raise money for the Houston animal shelter, Friends For Life…an International Quilt Festival special exhibit just happened to mesh with a piece I’d already done, and I was fortunate enough to have “Neon Kitty” accepted. The thrill of seeing my quilt hanging at Festival was enough inspiration for me to begin taking many many more risks (yes and collecting lots of rejection notes along the way along with the joy of acceptance letters!).
So as we move into a new year, I have my list of things I plan to do in 2016…NOT someday. I’m quite sure I won’t succeed in accomplishing every one, but I plan to give it my all. What dream will you move from your “someday” list to your 2016 page 😊?
