It was a lovely weekend in Georgia. Pete and I have been traveling so much lately (for us) it was really nice to enjoy a quiet weekend at home. I'm extremely behind with posting in general, but especially behind with our travel posts. I mean I haven't even finished with the Europe trip and we've been to Arkansas, Washington DC and New Orleans since then. YIKES! I guess it will all happen soon enough. That's what I keep telling myself anyway...back to this weekend. On Saturday, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. It was a beautiful day here, but it would be a lie to say that I didn't wish it was a tad cooler. I'm just saying, I am done with 80 degree weather, at least for a long while. Ask me again when I'm shivering in January, daydreaming about the heat, heat, heat of a Georgia summer day. Fantasizing about the feeling when you get in your car and the hot air just hits you like a wall and your leather seats are burning you through your clothes. I know, the memory is only good in the dead of winter and the reality is definitley not good at the end of October people!!!
Do you ever feel like everything going on in life just leaves your head spinning? Well, I have decided that I don't like that feeling and from now on I will be still and just let the world spin around me. I have had a pretty introspective couple of months and all that thinking just might make its way into written form here from time to time. I hope you all don't mind. The changes in season always make me want to make changes in my life. I like writing very much and plan on making use of that hobby because when it comes down to it, I need a hobby! Something I like to do things that are fun and do not involve working or cleaning or folding. Now this is hard for me, because I am known to work all evening and then stay up into the wee hours cleaning just to get things done. It took me a while, but I've realized that that is not fun and I don't really want to do that anymore. I want to have more fun.
I know only three of you will probably respond, but what are your hobbies? What do you make time to do for yourself, to keep yourself sane in your crazy, faster than lightening paced life? Let me know and I hope to be seeing you on a more regular basis.
Girl....I know. I have been feeling the same way lately. What can make me happy right now...what do I enjoy doing?? Do I even remember anymore? For Real. I really love doing my blog...I am back in business by the way. ;) I also love to read...when I have the chance. I love to bake cakes and treats...can't do that that often...would be HUGE. I have a NEW hobby. I am learning to crochet. Well..I have been for like 3 days anyway. But, it appears to be very good therapy. I will let you know how that turns out. And, I love spending time with family and friends...of which I have not had a lot of time to do here lately. Looking forward to reading your insightful thoughts. ;)
ReplyDeleteWith so many friends who are married (& some with kids) I am constantly encouraged to make the most of the simplicity that is the "single" life... It is simple. And I do enjoy it. A lot. So my life really isn't crazy, faster than lightning paced...
ReplyDeleteHobbies? I love hiking (especially the part of getting away from the city). I love to read... though I am a picky reader haha. I love to cook & clean (just not dishes- crazy, right?). I think I enjoy the feeling I have *after* running more than I enjoy running, but I can't get one without the other. ;-)
i am asking myself the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS lately. Hummmm :)
ReplyDeleteI love to sew and create things, but haven't had time to even think about doing anything. Greg has really taken to his hobby of photography and I find myself helping him find more time to his hobby then finding time for me. It's hard.
ReplyDeleteI like to blog and read blogs-I'm glad you are back in the blogging mood. I love to read, but don't get to do that too much except on vacation. I love to travel but its an expensive hobby. And I really enjoy making things on Heritage Makers for my family and others and even making movies from our pictures with music. I wished I had more time for that one.
