Rethinking My Daily Routines

Yes, the coming new year has me thinking about how I can change routines. The need to change has to include a logical improvement somehow. I have priorities to consider including my home and my health, to keep one clean and organized and the other to stay healthy as I age.

Added to that I want to keep the brain busy with learning. That is why I am a lifelong crafter. That is why I write here and hope to continue this habit for a long time. That is why I love the idea of an online shop even if I have agreed for now to put that on hold while Jim wants to spend so much time traveling. I want to be ready to go when that slows down. In the meantime, I may go back to local craft shows because I can't stop making stuff and have no desire to stop anyway. Making is a very big part of my life and very important to my mental wellbeing. Have you heard the phrase "I (fill in craft here) so I don't kill people"? That's me.

I think it boils down to the fact that I want to wake up with a sense of purpose even if I have to make it up for myself. If I didn't do this, I am afraid I would sit in the recliner and turn into a daytime TV watching, old, wrinkled vegetable. Not gonna happen. These thoughts are what I do in place of resolutions. I design routines and for the most part try to stick to them. If I miss a day for whatever reason, there is no guilt since tomorrow is a fresh new chance to do it better. 

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!  

I should have known

I should have known when I sat down at this silly computer to do something real quick how it would go. Most of you know exactly what I mean. It is the kind of experience related to a craft project, housekeeping or putting together a blog post that you think will take a quick five minutes that stretches much longer or you have to walk away from and take deep breathes because it just isn't working.

Back in a bit to try again. Thinking of summer and what to show you that says it all.
