So that was a pretty decent chunk of time away from blogging. What was I doing? A whole lot of nothing and everything. That's life right? I will aim to be a more committed bloggess.
Allow me to bring you up to date.
I'm super thankful right now. Always...but right now specifically.
Right now I am thankful for the usual. Health, wellness, my family, Cha-cha-charlie!!, and of course Drew! Things are always going to be hectic, up or down, good or bad. But the gift of right this minute is something I can't overlook. Enjoying the moments as I inhabit them.
Aside from all of that, I'm also really thankful for the increasing time I've had for myself lately.
Charlie has had some really solid naps and I've been able to work on de-cluttering the house, and getting myself, and my home and my mind organized. I'm not there completely, but it's nice to see some semblance of a path. For example, I've gotten rid of some clothes that I'll never wear. I've thrown out some things I'll never use, never need, and never look at. And of course there's tons of donation bags to be dropped off. It feels good. Guess it's autumn cleaning.
Arts and crafts have been such catharsis lately too. I've been painting (almost done with a friends commissions that have taken FOREVER!), sewing, making cards, autumn wreaths and making bracelets. My whole life any time I've been able to be creative my life has become a little better. My goals are to set up an etsy shop with the letter panels I've painted, headbands I've embroidered, and paintings.
Now before I conclude this post, I have to say that it's imperative that everyone engage in some kind of indulgent behavior. Be it a deep dark chewy-gooey brownie, or a cheeseburger, or a new pair of boots. Everyone should treat themselves to something. TREAT YOURSELF.
Ok. So I indulge in lethargy and bad TV. Food, well let's say I've been there, done that. I don't associate guilt with food. If I want to eat it I do. But time to do nothing? Ahh...love it. Mindless television with vapid and pointless dialog? Mmmm.
The reason why this is such a treat is I spend a lot of time over thinking, and analyzing, and concerning myself with the problems of this world. Politics, Food, the economy. Shit is on my mind. So when I watch this gar-baaahge- well it all just goes away while I enjoy my brain candy. Not bad I suppose.
I think that associating guilt with indulgence isn't ideal. There is always a happy medium - and like I said, treat yourself.
Movimg forward I hope to be a more consistent blogger- sharing ideas, and projects. And I hope people will still follow along as I battle boredom, the quest to figure out what to do when I grow up, my artistic and culinary endeavors and everything else that crosses my mind.
