I completely agree with the quote and find myself often hung up on that first sentence, first part of a project and simply just getting started. Once I get past that hurdle, usually the rest flows right along.
You have me curious now what project you are starting…
Well, congratulations. Its about time to strap on the sgian dubh and get on with it I suppose…
Can’t wait to see the results.
I remember you telling me about this! Good luck getting started.
