I Need to Change Things

You know what I mean.  Right now I feel very restless.  Like I should be doing something But, I don't know what that is.  I keep trying to figure it out or find it and all I am doing is standing still.  I need something in my life that is going to excite me, make me feel alive.  No, wait a minute.  It's not that my life is so bad.  It  isn't at all.  You see I am recovering from an illness, which I have talked about here on my blog.  No, I'm not recovering as fast as I wish I was but it's coming along.  I mean let's face it, I'm not young.  I just turned 69 a few  months ago.  So that does make you lean back and say, Ummm.  Right ?  I'm walking with a cane and doing  pretty good most of the time and I know it will get better.  Okay, now that that's out of the way, we can start coming up with ideas about what to change.

As I look over my blog I see I have put a lot of pictures of meals, cakes, and a variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts.  Which was fun for me.  I do love to be in my kitchen even if I am just cleaning up.  I know I am weird.  Like the time (not too long ago) I was going to start making sour dough bread.  I did.  It was going great but the dish got moved in the refrigerator, the lid came off and there went my starter.  So I needed to start all over.  Well I was so discouraged I decided to take a break and I've been on that break for a while.

And while looking over my blog I see I have taken a lot of pictures of my home.  Different rooms, porches, our garden, and flowers.

Plus I had photo's of our trip to Disneyland.  Let me tell you that was so fun.  Always, Always have a great time at Disneyland.  The Happiest Place on Earth !

Okay,  the point is I need to change things around.  I want to focus on something and get excited about it.  I want that feeling, where you feel it in your tummy.  You know what I mean.  It's a feeling you get, that I haven't felt in a long time.  I just want something in my life.  Something I get excited over just thinking about it.  Something that will take over my mind and that's all I am thinking about. Coming up with new ideas and going in different directions. Trying new things.  Oh !!!!!!!.  I must put my thinking cap on as a Kindergarten teacher,  Mrs. Bechett, would say to her students and they   would put those caps on every time.  Invisible or not.  I worked with this lady one summer and still marvel at what an amazing teacher she was and grateful I had the chance to work with her.

Okay,  getting  back to what I was saying.  I do need something.  I am in the process of writing about my family history.  I was luck enough to have found it on the internet.  No kidding.  What I am doing is writing about the people I know in the family, what others have shared with me then writing about what the times were like during that period in time.  It starts is 1740, or around there.  They came from Switzerland.  I was always told they came from Ireland or the ile' of Man.  OOPS!  Let me tell you it's all very fascinating to me.  Hey, maybe that is what I will continue doing.  I do get excited about it all and what I discovered.  I'm a little surprised my kids, and grandkids aren't.  Don't get me wrong they thought it was cool but not the excitement and thrill I feel.  I think I just figured out what to do then maybe that will lead me on to something else.  Wish me luck.   Tootles
