Ebay

So last month, I attended the Philadelphia Pen show. While there I spent some time at Susan Wirth's table. Ok so I spent pretty much all of Friday sitting there trying out different pens. I purchased two pens; one is Japanese and the other is a Esterbrook with a Osmiroid Sketch nib. I was and still am very happy with my purchases. I came home and hopped right away onto ebay searching for more Osmiroid nibs to put into my Esterbrook. my first purchase. (Not first Ebay purchase ever. Just first Osmiroid purchase.)  Was a left hand set of Osmiroid nibs. I paid for them right away. It's been 2 weeks and I have not heard anything from the seller. It says that they would be delivered anywhere form 2/8-2/22 .  Since then I have won two other sets of Osmiroid nibs off of ebay. Both sets now reside in my house. My question is should I contact the seller before the last date the nibs should arrive or wait until the last day and then make contact. It is bothersome to me because the second seller emailed me to let my know the nibs where in the mail and the third one had the mailed icon show on ebay. I'm just becoming worried about whether or not my nibs are going to come anytime soon or at all.

Procrastination

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday and avoiding today.” –  Dr. Wayne Dyer

So Procrastination, It's my life and I live it well. It's so not something to be proud of. I'm not proud of it, just telling it like it is. 

 My first excuse for not blogging regularly was because my mother was sick. One week she would be home and the next in the hospital. So I told myself I didn't have time. Now that she has passed away. I no longer have that excuse. 

It's super crazy how in life all the thing we say we are going to do or want to do just never get done. Or Maybe it's just a me thing? I always have and excuse or a reason why I should just put it off. Today I read a blog where there was a list reasons of why people procrastinate. The two that really got my attention were, 

"Fear of success- you might find this strange, but it is true that some of us are afraid of what might happen if we are successful.

 Fear of changes – you do not want to change yourself to adapt to the new state because you are afraid of the impact the changes will bring to you, it is simply that you are already in your comfort zone."   

They really got me thinking am I just avoiding things so that I don't have to worry about what changes will happen tomorrow?  So now I'm kind of tired of the same thing everyday. There is saying I'm not sure if I'm about to say it correctly but here it goes. "If everyday you do the same thing and nothing changes maybe it's time to try something different."  So I'm going to try something different. Not sure yet what, but it's time for change. I can't keep complaining and not doing anything different to change the circumstances.
