My first blog....ever, anywhere!!! Hence the RED text color. First I have to report on our weather. Seems when I chat with anyone we always talk about the weather so here it goes. It sucks. My sister, Ellen, would say it is 'dreary'.... I say... it is just BAD ASS cold. Minus eleven temperatures for a high today and the low last night was colder than I want to even think about and windy for the last four days. This has been the longest slowest winter we have had here in Shelby (Shelberia, as my son calls where we live), Montana. There I got the weather out of the way.... Check back for an update!
Setting up my Blog page has been a hard thing for me. Too many decisions. Making decisions is probably the hardest thing for me. I recently have tried my hand at scrapbooking. OMG! Talk about decisions. From picking what pictures to what paper, colors, embellishments and so on. If you have a hard time making decisions, pick another craft. So I have decided to collect scrapbooking supplies instead. I have thought about starting a website or blogging site for people who just collect things like scrapbooking slupplies instead of actually creating anything.. Just kidding. Believe me there are millions of beautiful scrapbooking supplies out there along with all the absolutely necessary tools, etc. you need to make absolutely beautiful pages. Oh and then there is the 'perfection' issue. IF you have the 'perfection disease' scrapbooking is possibly not for you. Decisions and perfectionism stop me in my tracks. I am not saying I am perfect. NO NO NO. What I am saying is I WANT everything in my life to be perfect. We all know that is not possible. We can get close, but 'no cigar'. Another thing I am having trouble with is keeping focused. Concentrating. I use to sew a lot. Quilting and making wallhangings mostly. Also a decision making process and it took my concentration and I definitely wanted everything I did perfect. If I am ever able to work out my decision making problem or let loose of my perfectionism issue, I may start sewing again or even make a few scrapbook pages. I believe my creativity is there. It is just blocked by my inability to make a decision and my wanting everything perfect. HELP!!
Check out my 'Quote Collection'. Today's quote was found on a sign in front of a Salvation Army store. My husband and I were sitting at a red light and I always read what is on that sign. I am positive that quote was put there for me. I wrote it down and my husband asked me what I was writing. I said, 'read the sign.' I told him ..'boy is that true' and he agreed. My most favorite quotes are those that I feel are connected to me and really make me think about the quote and how it is connected to me. I could probably make a list of those who have conquered me in some way. That particular quote made me realize I allow myself to be conquered through my choices in certain situations. Now all I need to do is to figure out how to make myself follow through with the changes I need to make in my life. Food of thought for a future blog.
I guess that is enough for my first blog. I have gone back and read and re-read what I have written trying to make it perfect. OPS there is that perfect work again.
Later.......
