I have planned this blog for a few years now. I even write it in my head as I am driving and the words are the perfect mix of interesting, engaging and funny! Then I get to the computer and check emails, skim a few articles, glance at a few blogs and wish I was doing all the 'stuff' the blogger is communicating to me, get stuck in Pinterest oogling over a many things, and then computer time is over and it is past time to move on to more domestic chores... So here goes, another do-over and without the guilt! I refuse to guilt myself over undone, want-to-do's ever again.
Feeling middle-aged, while not understanding how I got here, I decided to take on a few projects, however slowly, that I had always thought I would like to do. One of those was playing around with a real camera and good grief is there a lot to learn just to begin to snap a few shots. Just getting over the fear of pushing any buttons or turning any dials was a major feat for me! The research and purchasing of the camera was the easy part, the "pulling the trigger" on that amount of money was the hardest part, but I got past that and then let the thing sit in the box until I "had time to sit and study it"... ever do that? Make a major purchase just to wait weeks to get up the nerve to start using it, waiting on the right time and right amount of time?? I am now happy to report that after an hour with one of my very patient daughters, I am really enjoying this photography stuff, JUST LIKE I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO DO! I am proud and satisfied that I made this step, cause I am realizing with each new and wonderful day that I have a limited amount of real living to do. And right now I am still busy, living. Slowing down isn't an option yet cause that is too close to stopping!
Happiness is... moving forward, one step (however slowly) at a time!
