Chopping off my cold feet

I have always loved the quote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Leave it to the Chinese Philosophers like Lao-tzu to say it best, hunh?) The quote is rather fitting for the first posting on this blog because I have been wanting to start for quite some time now. Unfortunately, that "overplan" feature of my brain has been holding me back. Often, I think we procrastinate because we want our end product to be flawless and that is such an undertaking that it's more tempting never to start. Well boo to that- here's to just going with it and accepting imperfections!

Speaking of Chinese quotations, here are some of my favorite Chinese proverbs:

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

One generation plants the trees, and another gets the shade.
