In Which I Pout and Whine

I miss Oregon.

I miss my family and my church back "at home".

I miss freedom and quiet mornings. I miss time to read blogs and comment on blogs and post on my own blog. I miss Etsy.

I miss garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets. I miss having a house and making a home and making a living.

I miss writing, crafting, painting, updating and re-purposing.

At the moment, I'd like to repurpose my life. If only I could do that with just some sandpaper and a can of aqua spray paint. Red hair dye is the best I got, but it's sat in my bathroom for 7 weeks now waiting for the time to apply it. Hmph.

Just read this and I hope you're feeling better now. I've had these feelings before ~ we moved away from our home of 30 years to a new place ~ new jobs, new church, etc. It's gotten better. Hang in there.

Words I Wish I Wrote

When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.
~Lewis Carroll

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted. ~George Kneller
