Pottering

"So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering." Brenda Ueland

Moodling - what a wonderful word!  Moodling is really what I do best.  Although pottering is what I call it.  I can potter for hours, around the garden, around the house.  I can start lots of tasks then be distracted by something else far more interesting.  This makes me sound like I'm incredibly lazy, which I'm not.  I don't spend my life just pottering.  I wouldn't get anything done for a start!  However, for the chance to feed the imagination, to just let it float from one thing to another, to plan, to dream, ... nope you can't beat spending a day (or two) just pottering.
