Many years ago, back when I was married to my ex and lived with my kids, I really enjoyed creative pursuits... Not the drug kind, I mean arts and crafts! Scrapbooking, paper crafting, painting, decorating, cooking and baking, etc. Over the years I've let these things slip away. Whether it was for financial reasons or time constraints, crafting ceased being a necessary part of my life along the way. I find that I feel stifled if I'm not creating though. Has anyone else experienced this?
I've thought that perhaps subconsciously I'm punishing myself for how things turned out with the kids living so far away. Are there any other long distance moms out there? It is so hard to be away from them, even though I'm certain they are in the best situation they can be.
I'm going to endeavor to create something new every day for a year. Whether it's photography, crafting, blogging or cooking. I'll share my journey here, and hopefully by March 12, 2015 my joy will have come back from vacation!
