I guess what I want from this blog is to have something to do consistently everyday, yet, that can be completely random! Does that make any sense? It can sort of become my creative outlet where I can share my interests, designs, ideas, very random thoughts, and a little humor with all of you!
I may even add in some "Why don't you try it!" projects... you know, if you wanna get that involved.
I used to be a very active, silly, creative, ambitious person. I was always on the go, and needed to be doing something at all times. But then, for a while, I felt like I was in a kind of stupor. No motivation, desires, interests or hobbies. My now husband and then boyfriend was always asking me: "What do you like to do? What are some things you would like to do later? Do you have any hobbies? What goals do you have for yourself? Do you just sit around staring at walls all day?"
Ok, that last one IS a real question he once asked me... but he is not as much a jerk as he seems! It was to be expected when I could never give him any answer other than "wel...uhmm...derrr....idunno...stuff!" with a stupid look on my face. I think (now, of course, far too late to have helped me at the time) that the problem was I always had things to keep me occupied, and most of them were things that all came to a halt at the same time because I graduated. Therefore: Me, left with seemingly nothing to do... (but stare at walls?)
(just to list some things I did)
school
varsity golf matches everyday after that
golf practice on days that there were no matches
softball games
softball practice when there were no games
softball tryouts and conditioning when softball was not in season
talking to my mom (when I lived at home, this happened a lot. Mom does love to talk)
motorcycle rides with dad
dinner with Mom and Dad
watching my nieces
working at Bob's
swimming
sleeping (this decreased a fair amount after I started dating Josh)
So, now, almost one year into marriage, I am finding myself happier than ever! We recently moved into a new place, where we have a yard, a garage, and a neighborhood! I feel like these things have added to my happiness- I do not like being couped up 8 stories above ground, with nowhere to go and nothing to do with no space to do it in. So this is a good thing, right?
Right!
If you were to have Josh ask me those questions from a few paragraphs ago, he'd probably get annoyed at my endless rambling on of things I am interested in. I feel like I have so many things I want to do, and so many things I am doing!
But as I read at 30daysofcreativity.com, "Your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger." And mine is getting pumped!
