twenty years

     I realized the other morning as I was driving to work

 that I have lived my life in 20 year increments.

     1st 20 years ~ my childhood, living at home with little 

 responsibility.

 

 

     2nd  20 years ~ a married, stay at home mom.

     3nd 20 years ~a divorced working mom

         I have now hit my next 20 year period. It has begun with a
    new husband, an empty nest and working an hour away from
    home.  I am looking forward to retiring but still have a few
    years til thats a possibility.  I know that i want to fill this period
    of time with lots of creating!  I have started painting again and
    have taught myself how to knit and crochet.  So i'm off to a good
    start. I have loved each phase of my life and really wouldn't have
    done anything differently. I have learned a lot, got to know some
    amazing people, overcome fears and finally accepted who i am.

  

 

 

   

   

december plan....

                                 tidy up

                                   walk 

                                then play

    tidy up -  i am not a good housekeeper, so i'm not

    gonna say ( clean ) .  in a book I read they kept a 

    tidy house, which made me feel good and i can 

    just picture all kinds of cute there.

    walk - surely I can walk 30 minutes a day!! i'm workin

    up to 10,000 steps a day, and I know it's not impossible.

    then play - though some play has to stop. stayin on the 

    internet for hours on pinterest, on facebook, on instagram

    which means an awful lot of sitting. so the play i'm talkin 

    about is knitting, crocheting, drawing or being crafty in any 

    way.

   my motivation is all the crafty plans I have in my head

   so I started today

   tidy up

   walk

   then play
