I love to do things that I like.
Like: Making things
Baking
Crocheting
All kinds of crafts
Moving the furniture in my house
Sewing
Reading
The list goes on and on and I get nothing done.
I just don’t seem to have the oomph to do it.
I think of all of these great ideas, but when it comes to doing it; nope.
I’m in a sleeping mode right now. I think I could sleep all day and all night long.
I have so much to do that I am overwhelmed.
This have been going on a long time now and it’s time for a new mode.
Spring is here.
Spring is here so it’s time for mowing and yard work. Yippee.
Cleaning house is a real laugh. I just tell myself that I like watching my dust pile up.
My closet has needed cleaned out for a few years now.
The basement is a wreck.
My sister does the laundry and the dishes. I love that!
Let me give you a run down.
My sister has Parkinson’s Disease and now anxiety to go with it. She has a lot of trouble getting around now. She goes to therapy twice a week and I take her. She needs it. She goes to doctors all over the state so she can stay in the same medical system.
We have 3 Jack Russell dogs. The oldest one can’t always make it to the yard, so we have pee pads that he tries to hit, but usually misses. I carry him to the yard a lot.
I go to a knitting/craft group once a week to get out of the house and laugh with my friends. We have a great time.
I go to the doctor often enough. Family doctor, cardiologist. I’m having some throat problems so now testing on that and a surgeon. Now I have added a lot of dentist appointments. I need dentures, I guess. Shudder! A least once in my life I will have pretty teeth. Family history and medication all my life has taken it’s toll. Add to that the stress of paying for it with money I don’t have.
I started this blog to help with money a little, but I picked a subject that people have trouble reading. Self help is hard and add depression to that and people want to stay away, even if they need it.
But, I sure know it well. So, not so much money in that.
I sell things on Ebay and that is doing better than this blog! Depression makes it a little hard to get done, but I’m working on it.
Depression adds that element of not wanting to do things. I still have not come up with a way to get around that. And, if someone says to “just do it” they don’t know jack about depression.
The house itself needs a lot of work and when my sister can’t help with the bills, I will have to sell it.
Now that I have thoroughly bored you, I want you to sit down and think of the things in your life that seem too much to handle.
Do you get things done that need worked on?
Do you help or work around your house? Make your own bed? Mow the lawn?
Maybe it is time to work on things. Maybe you want to take up wood carving. Start small, but start.
I don’t feel sorry for myself and I don’t want you to either. Do what you can and then watch the dust pile up.
Do not sit around and feel sorry for yourself. Life is what you make it. And you have it in you to make it good.
Make something beautiful or fun or interesting.
It is all in the way you think about it.
Your brain and soul.
Your brain and your soul are connected. Let them talk to each other. It gets to be a habit and gives you ideas besides feeling sorry for yourself.
Spring is a great time to plant a garden. Even a container garden would be great.
Have a productive and beautiful spring!
Take some time to look over my Market Pages and see if you need anything in those stores. I might make some money if you do.
Next blog post coming next week.
