Times "marching" on...

It's hard to believe the first week of March is coming to an end already. It's even harder to believe I haven't updated my beloved blog in quite a while, it's very unlike me. I feel my life has taken control of me & how I spend my time & I'm ready, more than ever to feel "normal" again! There is so much to catch up on, stuff I don't want to forget about, so those posts will be coming in the next couple of weeks! Better late than never! At least in my book!!

I have this blog as a means to remember my life experiences. I am not super good at formally writing things down & I know I'm already forgetting precious memories from my past. I figure by having this blog I'll at least have something to preserve my experiences so that I may remember & learn as well as my children... when I have them! I think it would also be fun for my grandchildren to read about the times from my perspective. I love reading things that my grandmother who has passed away wrote & I cherish her life experiences.

This is all over the place, but that is how life has been for me lately! I can't seem to find time to do any one task for as long as I'd like because there are so many other things I have my hands in at the moment. I haven't been finishing things I would like to or even taking time to exercise my creative mind in quite awhile. Something I am missing terribly.

I saw this clip tonight & it really made me step back & take a deep breath. I am such a creative person & I find that even when things are chaotic all around me if I take time each day to devote to my creative spirit that I thrive. Hard things seem easier, I'm more relaxed & happy. I feel like it's my spirits way of saying thanks, keep going or this is how you'll find contentment. It's also such a nice reminder to me that being creative really is a beautiful & natural process.

I find so many answerers to life's questions in the quite moments of using my hands to beautify the world around me in my own little way. It lifts me & encourages me. We all need that, in whatever way it comes. I'm sure it's different for each of us.

So here's to taking time to create, in whatever ways are good for you.
