Strange

Have you ever had one of those days where it just felt strange? You know your goals, you’ve written them down. You repeat them in your head and you envision the dreams as if they are reality until it feels real. Well, that’s atleast what I do just about every single day. I dream. I also try my best to give gratitude for what I already have.

But… things aren’t always peachy like you envision in your brain. And that is life my friends.

When you come home after doing grunt work all day and things aren’t cleaned up and stuff is everywhere, you just want to flop on the couch, arms crossed and say harumph. I’m not doing it. I’m not picking up this crap, I’m not wiping off the counter. I’m not doing it. I’m going to sit here and mope and maybe you will see that I’m angry and pick up for me.

But… that doesn’t work EVER.

Realizing that I spent so much time over the weekend creating content for a Young Living class that somehow got baffled by Facebook, I have decided to give myself a breather. Maybe the universe is telling me to just chill out and let things fall in place. I’m not giving up, I’m just realizing that maybe I’m approaching this wrong. Maybe I’m thinking too hard on this. I decided to draw “Just a Dash” on mine and Doug’s new little shelf. Here’s how it turned out:

Just a Dash

We still have to add the hooks for the coffee mugs. It’ll be hanging tomorrow! I also got some wooden letters that spell out coffee that’ll sit on top! It’ll be super cute.

We all need to take time to do creative stuff. It’s important for your brain. While I still may have been thinking about how to approach the Young Living business in new and exciting ways, I still rocked out to some good tunes and let the creative blood flow. It seriously is good for you.

So, even though my day today was just odd and started off with cleaning out mine and my mom’s rental property, then heading to go see a doctor, I ended it with some creativity. BTW, I never go to see a Doctor but it’s necessary for the time being. Woohoo.

Have a good night y’all. Oh and you guys who are liking my blog and following me, I freaking love your user names. Cracks me up every single time I get a new like. You all are so creative!

  2. Just read your new blog and I love it and the shelf picture….cool!
    There’s many times I pull back from a hectic day and just say screw it! Then I work ( I use this word loosely as I love to write), so I ‘work’ on a book project that’s brewing all the time in the rafters of thy brain! Funny how ‘fun work’ soothes the soul, which is extremely cathartic and creative at the same time. Ah….I love to rest that way!
