A change will do you good

As of late I have been feeling a little overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted and entirely just out of sync. I find myself thinking in a way I never have before. I don't know what has brought this change about. Could be my upcoming nuptials, the fact that I am almost thirty, or simply that I just take the little things for granted. I listened to Mr. Jastram tell me a story last night about an encounter that he had with an ill child who wanted to see the fire truck. WOW, I thought about how such a small action on one mans part, was probably the highlight of this child's day or week! That was my final turning point. I want to do something that I can be proud of, not just something that I am good at. So I will begin my quest to find that fulfilling something that I love to do. This may come at a price but I think my happiness is worth it. Thank god Mr. Jastram is so supportive and understands that sometimes the money just isn't worth it, and I LOVE HIM FOR THAT!

I also have this creative side of myself that has started to emerge lately(gasp). Most of you who know me wouldn't say that I am a creative artsy type, I know I am the first to say I am not. But there are some things I am good at and I want to spend more time doing them.

So here my list begins........

We bought our house for a reason. We just fell in love with it and all it's charm. We saw so much potential in it. So I am going to spend more time on my house bringing the picture in my head to life. I owe it to myself and our humble abode.I love photography, so I think I will buy myself a new camera and take some fun pictures that I love and am proud to display on my walls.I love love love painting furniture and giving it a new life or place in the home. I am going to start a small side business doing just that. Purely because I enjoy it. Folks, if you have something that needs a face lift, I am your girl. If not, come look at my collection and see if you could offer a good home to any of my projects.For any of you who know me well, you know black is the staple color in my closet. Not for any particular reason but because it is easy, and I feel good in it. However, I may just buy this floral number with ruffles. I think it would look good on me. If it is a really good day you many even catch me in something pink! Why not, right?

So in closing, I am going to spend a little time taking care of me. If you don't hear from me for a while, not to worry my friends, I am finding fulfillment in the smalls things. Quality over quantity. You can follow my journey right here on this very blog. Keep in mind, I will be back! Just a better me to share with you!
