Thank you for posting this, it's an excellent entry! In many ways I am in the same boat, and this couldn't have come at a better time.

“EACH DAY I MUST DO SOMETHING, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, TO MOVE AHEAD WITH MY ART”.
I love this. Even when we feel ourselves hit with a big case of OVERWHELM, this is a darned good thing to remember. Even if it's big, pick it apart, organize it, and keep it moving.
