Finding My Way

Some days I just go through the motions:  work, eat, sleep, with a couple of errands in between the mundane.  But I have moments where I know that's not enough "life" for me, or for anyone.  I try my hand at a few hobbies to give me purpose, and joy.  I paint rocks as part of the Kindness Rocks movement to leave around town and that lets me be creative and also brings smiles to other people.  That's a good thing.    I take my walks around town in the local parks, sometimes taking photos and that feeds my creativity and walking is good exercise.  Another good thing.  

And yet I still feel something missing. 

Sometimes I find myself getting into a writing mode where I can sit down and write here on the blog, or maybe just working on a creative writing story.  Sometimes I try to challenge myself:  write every day, walk every day, paint every day.  Because doing things keeps me going. 

I enjoy my job but get bogged down in the day to day crap that seems to go around; it's an effort to take myself out of all of that.  But when I do that, I'm also perceived as being "The Bitch" .....  but I can't be a fake me with all the smiling and asking how someone is every day.  Because I'm that person at work who if I say "How are you?"  most of them proceed to tell me exactly how they are, and I really don't want to know because I have issues of my own to deal with.  *sigh*   sometimes you just can't win.

So I go through my days and time passes as I muddle through my hobbies and my household chores or my work day.  Sometimes I convince myself that I have many things left in me that need to be said before I'm no longer here on Earth.  Other times I figure no one really needs to hear my silly ramblings.  

Time to take myself off to bed - another fun filled work day tomorrow, then I'm off for two days! WooHoo.
