Enthusiasm develops with interest, interest develops through investigation, investigation is facilitated by showing up.

Showing up is the beginning and the easiest yet most important step. This is a technique I’m working with in concert with my woodworking. Showing up in the shop. Soaking in the atmosphere. Fretting from here to there. Cleaning, organizing, taking inventory. Sparks will happen, enthusiasm will come, be patient. I keep telling myself to "be patient” and keep showing up.
