Just sitting here, reflecting

I've been thinking for weeks now, wondering where my time goes and what my life has brought me to in the past few years.  I think about this blog and how I really just didn't embrace it.  I'll be honest, I wasn't ready at the time and I'm still not sure I'll ever be one of those people who can blog daily. 

The past fews years have been a struggle, to say the least.  So many changes have occured, and overall, I'm a happier person now that we are thru it.  I think I have my priorities straight.  I think doesn't sound overall like a commitment, but life changes and you have to roll with it.  That has been my lesson.

 Last year I gave myself the word "permission".  It was permission to create, lash out, cry, feel, make decisions, etc.  This year my word is free and so I am trying to live it - again going with the moment, enjoying each experience as it comes to me and the freedom to say "I don't want to when" I don't want to do something. 

My house is a bit more messy and I haven't truly crafted in a while.  I've spent the past two years trying to get the room into a new place and it's good.  It's coming along.  I'm making tweeks to where things are, what makes sense for my workstyle.  basically, like any relationship, working at it.  I had to fall in love again with this hobby of mine.  In the meantime I'm volunteering and filling up my heart with things that make me happy. 

As for scrapbooking, I purged a bunch of supplies and I'm still sorting thru others.  I'm categorizing and simplifying.  It feels good.   I think I'm almost there.....wish me luck and hopefully I'll have something posted soon.
