Good morning, everyone!!!
It has been one crazy year...
Nothing has gone as planned but everything has worked out as it needed to, hope that makes sense.
Lots of moving over the course of the summer. Not hubby and I but family. So, we met ourselves coming and going quite a bit LOL.
I've been at the new job a year now and still love it. In fact, it has helped me gain a great deal of perspective on life. I enjoy the repetitiveness of it, because after I get my routine for the night going, my mind can just go where it wants. I've been able to redecorate a few rooms in this house and add some BOHO to the camper :) We have a couple of in-home projects coming up over the next few weeks, new living room floor, new front window, new roof, and then paint the kitchen :) A good deal of this was planned while working :)
I've also outlined a few books, one of which is way out of my element but one I believe I am going to enjoy working on. I am giving myself a year to start getting serious on the writing. I enjoy it, but I also know I need to get a bit more serious about it. My youngest son and I have been talking about it the last week or so and he's helped me figure out a game plan. One thing is for sure I HAVE to quit treating it like a hobby and start treating it more like a job. I've always worried treating it like a job would take the pleasure out of it, however, something has to get me back in the saddle LOL.
I found myself in a dark area where the writing has been concerned. Always wanting to get back at it, even trying to push the mark a bit, but then I allow myself to get in the way. You can always find excuses and boy have I found excuses. Not that my excuses haven't been important, because life does have its way of taking up your time as well. It's all a fine balance I am still working on, LOL. I'll probably be working on balance the rest of my life because besides writing I do enjoy living :)
This next week we will be going on a nice much needed trip with the sister and brother-in-law, doing some of our favorite things, flea markets and rummage sales. I've come up with some fun ideas for presents this year, so I need to be on the lookout for a few prize items LOL. I'm looking forward to this little getaway :)
Once I return from this little trip, I am hoping to feel refreshed with not only myself but life in general. I know I've been in this blah mood as of late, and I haven't been able to pinpoint why, because frankly, life is going well. In fact, it has been going very well, so maybe I'm suffering from self-sabotage which I firmly believe in, so maybe that's all it is. I'll need to really buckle down on myself and work on that.
So, I guess you could say I have a good deal of work to do over the course of the remaining time of this year. Between self-work and remodel work it's going to be a busy next few months LOL.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
