or maybe its already been made up by someone else. I don't know but it sounded good to me.
Have you ever had so much on your mind you feel overwhelmed? That's me. My mind is so full of ideas, worries and thoughts. Stuff is always swirling around in there! Sometimes its painful.
I like to create. I have inspirations on things to create but cant seem to wrap my thoughts and skills around how to do it. Some things I want to make are small enough to fit in the palm of my hand to things big enough to change the look of my house. Its all in there waiting to come out. I'm not going to say I don't have the time or money to do these things because most things are ideas of re-creating and making use of old things. ohhh. The thought process is pounding! Pinterest is dangerous. Just saying.
My mind worries. I hear nothing but bad news on TV and local newspaper. Everywhere I go, I'm surrounded by pessimistic people and I'm an Optimistic person. I always try to find the good in everything and everybody. I think bad luck happens to pessimistic people. I also believe if hateful people truly have God in there hearts, they would not be so pessimistic.
I also worry about the world. Its going to hell in a handbag. So many lost people are out there. So much hate. So much sin. So much sickness and no faith. So much immorality. I wish the world would wake up and straighten up. Just imagine how happy everyone in the world would be if we all baked cookies at the same time. Just a thought.
I wonder why family is so distant. I have always been the one to do all the calling, texting or just showing up. They never make the effort. By the way, we all live in the same county. I stopped the effort just to see what happened and now I never hear from them unless its at a family get together, This hurts. They do not even read my blog or visit my online store or even follow me on Twitter or Facebook. They have no clue about me any more. I love them but they are never around. I just keep thinking, Thanksgiving will be here soon and well catch up I guess.
I Dream. There are so many things I want to do , places I want to go. Stuff I want to see. Even though we don't have a lot of money, I do not think anything is out of reach, but I'm the only one that thinks that way. I guess its kind of nice not to be able to do things or have things because it gives me something to dream about.
On this all being said, I will continue with new ideas, I will figure things out eventually. I will always be creative, I will be my own friend. I have a wonderful Husband and daughter that I get to see and spend every day with and this makes me happy. I will continue praying for others and just live one day at a time.
I should remember this.......
UPDATE!!!!!
Two months after writing this post, I went to a local school here in my town and completed a Phlebotomy course. So excited and cant wait one day to use my certified skillzzzzzz.

I love your final quote.
ReplyDeleteI tease my family that I am too shallow to worry about things - they do all the worrying for us. I agree with most of what you say and I believe that creativity is what keeps me sane and not worrying about the ills of society.
Go for that next step career and don't worry about the tests. If it is meant to be, it will happen. I graduated from college at 21, but did not go for my teaching credential until I was 38. It had been 17 years since I had taken a test. I thought I would be the oldest person in the class - there were people far older. I got my master's degree at 55.
Have a great weekend.
Congratulations on winning the fabulous ceramic message board from Botanic Bleu. I was the lucky winner the last time - Judith is fabulous. I'm glad to have found your blog. Have an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteThe last quote reminds me of my husband and his grad school project. I hope you figure things out!! I get a bit busy with my thoughts as well.
