I titled this post a long time ago. I’m not sure if the content will be what I originally thought now, but it fits some thoughts I have today.

I’m constantly amazed at the contrast between old and new all around me. I love history, have a great curiosity of antiques and times long gone and often find myself trying to visualize what places and times might have looked like in my head. Consequently, I tend to see more and more comparisons between old and new. Take these photos, they are over a year old but it was something that caught my eye one day when I noticed cobwebs by an old broom on my porch.

Having just purchased a new broom with the integrated dustpan I just had to shoot a comparison shot. It made me think about the things we replace all the time - the old with the new. Some upgrades are wonderful and desirable, others are not.

Then today I was thinking in even more basic terms. For me, I am constantly balancing new projects with old ones. I started this blog to organize some of my old files, yet every time I get back into those file conversions new ideas erupt or new projects come along. I find myself devoting my time to those things (like say…writing a post! *giggle*) Today I was looking back to see how much I’ve gotten over on my shared information page and was so sad to see so little! I have SO much more to share that I wonder if I’ll ever get it up, especially with new ideas cropping up all the time.

I keep hoping that maybe this week I’ll get some of my new ideas and shares pulled together and yet the new weeks turn old faster than I can keep up these days. On the bright side it’s not like I’m not getting things done or taking care of business that matters. Some days I just wish I had more time to get to more things. Do you ever feel that way?
