I worked hard for those two degrees and I focused so much. I spent days and nights doing homework, going to meetings and traveling to and from school. When I was not doing school work I was working. So now I am kind of lost. That is the problem with us overachieving types. We work so hard that we put life on hold. Enjoying yourself? Hah! Relaxing? What's that!? Reading for pleasure? Simply the thought of it is too much to handle.
Now, I am done with school and I don't start work until August. I have to find new and enjoyable ways of spending my time. I had a few projects that I had been wanting to do for a while now. Honestly, I have just been wanting to make things for the longest time. Writing papers, analyzing essays and reading long textbooks wore me out. So this week I rediscovered my love for making things. To take the time to simply do something, not rush through, is really challenging. I want to incorporate this more into my daily practice.
Here is what I made this week...
 |
| A table that I have had for several years was in desperate need of painting. I finally purchased the supplies. |
 |
| I bought these pillows at Ikea three years ago. I decided to sew new covers for them. |
 |
| I am making my own flavored vodka using blueberries, strawberries and lemon peel. |
 |
| I had been working on this dress off and on since last fall. It is finally finished. |
More blogs to come. I promise.
