Did a self assessment earlier and realized that I’m neither a natural night owl nor a morning lark, meaning that I have the option to tune my body to adjust either way. I’ve always wanted to turn myself into a morning person, but was never quite successful.
In my devotion yesterday, I read about how Jesus woke up in the early morning while the sky was still dark to go to a solitary place to pray (Mark 1:35-37). It’s such a nice picture – a solitary place at a time when the city is still asleep and there’s no one around except you and God! Today, I decided to switch my devotion time from bedtime to morning. It does seem to make my day more productive, but let’s see how long I can keep this habit, and whether I can transform myself into the morning person I’ve always wanted to be…
Need to put aside my holiday mood and start a new freelance project today, wasn’t easy, but I managed to put in a very efficient 2 hours of work. Thankful that I have work lined up one after another.
My first time to catch a glimpse of some HK artists’ studios at the Fotanian event was 2 years ago, not long after I came back from Canada. Revisiting the same event after 2 years makes me realize that I still very much want to have a studio space to do some “dirty” experimental work, but now I started to consider more about the economic feasibility. Overheard an artist saying that he only had time to do art after retirement, and another artist said the only reward he can get is the spiritual support from people who appreciates his artwork. I can’t help but question how an artist can make a living, especially here in HK. I can now see why the term “starving artist” was coined!
