Making a Change

September 22, 2019

I am amazed in how fall has jumped right in and, on top of that, September is almost gone. This year especially seems to be moving away fast. I believe it may be due to my age...74. However, 73 and 72 didn't seem to come in so fast! Why, I wonder?

So, I have made a decision that I am going to weed out some of the less enjoyed or less participated crafts that are not getting my attention anymore and make sure I put my time into those that I want to contribute to more. I feel, if I get rid of those that take up space or just haunt me (saying, when will you get to me?), I will feel better about my time spent!

I have decided to get rid of crochet...all my completed and uncompleted items (might keep a few), books, needles and yarn. One reason is that, last time I crochet a scarf, I had cramping in my hands; not fun and I just don't enjoy it anymore. My eyes get tired quicker and then I don't feel like reading, which is one of my favorite pastimes.

My major items that I want to pursue more, give more attention to is writing! So, I plan to be spending more time here. I want to spend more time in reviews. I am truly amazed at the number of reviews some members have completed since they have joined...puts me to shame.

Secondly, I want to spend more time in painting. I recently took up oils. I have done some painting in watercolors, acrylics; oils has a new mystique about it; so more time I truly plan to give to it.

And, in my reading, I want to do more study in the Bible. I have enjoyed reading and then doing independent study of the gift our Creator has given us; His Word!

What have you decided to do for yourself lately??

Go for it!
