How about that, 2 posts in one day. Well, I guess technically they are posts, mostly they were just diversions so that maybe you wouldn’t notice how long it had been since I had actually written a post. Did it work?
I didn’t think so.
I have been thinking about writing. I used to enjoy it, I used to look forward to it. But lately, I seem to be stuck in an imaginative void.
I get up, I do the mom thing, I do the wife thing, I do the employee thing, and I go to bed.
That’s life right now.
It’s not a bad life, in fact, I love my life. I wouldn’t have it any other way, except the imagination part.
I used to spend time every day creating something, whether it was a craft, sewing, crochet, cooking, or spitting out words that were crowding my brain, I created something every day. It seems as if I’ve gotten so caught up in living day to day, that I have forgotten to live my day each day.
I remember one year, I handmade each and every ornament on our Christmas tree. That tree touched the ceiling, and was so full there was no way another single ornament would fit. That was my all time favorite tree. But slowly, I have let that inspiration dissipate. I’ve got to get that back to grab back every molecule, every spark of ingenus within my grasp and mold it all into something new.

I know exactly what you mean…. I’m in a similar place… I think it’s Summer too. The sun shines and you can’t work out how to stay indoors and do the creative stuff. I am growing lots of veggies, you are trying to get a house sold…
Sometimes life just gets busy… don’t worry Fall brings inspiration…

I don’t know if it helps, but I find your writings completely refreshing. I think its been fantastic reading through your life story and in my search for Faith it’s so awesome to see that even though surrounded with Him, you can be totally normal. I find that some days I have to write 3+ blogs, and some days I don’t write any.
Thank you for being so candid. I stop here often.
PS I carry paper and a pen in my purse and write down random things that come to me, I have also started taking my camera with me – on the search for creativity – coming from a designers standpoint, everything is blog appropriate to me.. LOL
much luv

Aww, honey, it’s OK.
We all go through times like this. Times when you think, what could possibly be interesting about the fact that I get up, poop, eat, go to work, wash dishes, care for the pets, etc., not necessarily in that order and not necessarily every day. The pooping thing, I mean, I don’t always poop every day. Or work every day. Well, I mean I do work every day, I just don’t get paid for it every day (like weekends I work on chores and stuff).. These are just the mundane things of life.
Besides poop is always fascinating.
