The Joy of Writing

hahahah

I like to write. 

It could be a work of fiction, relating details of things going on in life, sharing a joke or story I heard ... it doesn't seem to matter what it is, but I enjoy it.  I've called it many things over the years:  keeping a diary, writing a journal, then with social media all the rage, blogging. 

Every now and then, I look back at some of the things I've written, and I guess when it comes to a "style" of my writing, what I write comes from the heart.  Sometimes with humor, sometimes satire, and other times, good old fashioned ranting!! 

I don't want to try to be a specific somebody.  And maybe that's well and good for professionals who earn their living at writing; me, I'm just plain ol' me.  Take it as it comes.

But I find it quite therapeutic.

I don't write because I am all about the followers or any kind of "like" or comment.  I have a few friends on FaceBook who can be that way,
but that's never been my thing at all.

I write for me, for the joy it brings me,
and sometimes, when I've ranted a good piece,
it's almost as good as punching something.
Or someone.

Bright Blessings, my friend.

Life Balance

Trying to find a good life balance when you add up all the things a person wants to accomplish in a day or a week, it's not an easy task! 

My work life consumes 10 hours a day, then there's walking the dog, finding time to do a few chores and squeeze in a little exercise as well, and before you know it, it's bedtime!  And there's paperwork that didn't completed, maybe a few bills needed to be paid, then add in the creative stuff that I enjoy doing. 

Where did I find all the time to do those things in the past ?????

And how will I create time for myself to do those things now ?

With everything that's been going on, sometimes just getting through the work day is the only struggle I can get through.  Other days, it goes a little better and I feel like I get a few things accomplished.  I am in awe over how much I can get done just on my phone, and yet, it still doesn't seem like it's enough some days. 

One day at a time

It helps to make a list

I like the feeling I get when I can actually check something OFF my list!

Which reminds me, I need to make a "Honey Do" list for my son in law when he's here next week.
(He doesn't know it yet, though. haha)

Because today was a better day than most,
here's a photo of the flowers I planted last week
using the new Canon camera and filter I shopped for today!
