I think I mentioned before that this has been one great summer for me and I figured out why. I have been creating things, spending time with creative people and also cultivating friendships. You would think that by 40, I would "know" myself, well, obviously I am a slow learner. I realized today that I have had such a great time because I have been doing what I enjoy, time with others and time creating things. I love when I am doing something.
Things I have done with friends this summer:
- Attempted to make whole wheat tortillas, not there yet but we spent a day making tortillas and then a meal with our creations
- cookie dough for the freezer
- oatmeal jam bars
- jam/jelly
- berry picking
- doughnuts
- bread
- pennants for the baseball team
- I am sure I am forgetting a couple of things
And with those real adults I have also spent time learning things from them and making plans for future projects and gleaning ideas for future projects for myself.
So, when I try to hibernate this winter, I might have to go back and read this blog and get out the scissors and thread because I am itching to sew....
I had a long painting to do list for the summer, I even bought paint brushes. Yet, nary a drop of paint has seen those brushes. They will, in August, in when I convince myself that home improvement needs to happen. But, I will probably call on my friends to come chat while I paint and bring their Blessings to keep my Blessings occupied.
I've done quite a bit of painting--call me when you're ready! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will. I actually think I am going to start fitting in 30 minutes a day after the FBFI meetings.
ReplyDeleteThat is great. I've been sort of figuring myself out lately too. It's funny how when we allow ourselves to be ourselves, the way the Lord made us, we have fun. So glad you are creating so many things. :)
