Not busy enough...

I have made an effort to slow things down in my life, to rest more and to get healthier. This has meant more time to think, to worry, and to let life get to me. In my case this is not usually a good thing.

It is cold and the weather lately has kept me inside. I am very creative person and need an outlet, I miss taking pictures and I miss the green and beauty of the other times of the year.

Anyway my point is that lately I apparently have not been busy enough... how do I know this?

Well I do one of two things when my life isn't busy enough. I become less happy, I love to be doing things... so when I can't I either...

Over share my life. I post about every little thing that comes along, in order to occupy my time. I post about anything that might be the least exciting, trying to get attention. How is THAT for honest?

OR

I get too involved in other people's lives. I don't even mean meddling as I don't do that.... but I ... pay too much attention to others. It generally brings drama into my life... again to occupy my time.

Not only are both of these things unhealthy BUT they stop be from focusing on being the best ME I can be. It keeps me from dealing with the important things in my life. Long time readers will know that I call these things ... bright shiny objects.

So I am going to put my blinders back on and pay less attention to the objects whirling around me. Back to my happy homemaking, cookie decorating, monkey playing with, picture taking, quilt making life lol....
