Hubby and I ...We're at the same point in life. Hubby and I have been discussing what we want to do for the next 50 years. wow, that's a lot of time when you think about it. I have decided on a few things. First, get my physical house in order. that's a big one. To accomplish that, I'll also work on another, which is to finish projects already started, and boy are there lots of them.<br /><br />Along with that, I want more education. First up is an online literature class.<br /><br />Keep being creative. I love to view your work and would proudly display one of your watercolours or tangles or what ever. A few years ago, I wanted to encourage some of the kids I know. The one girl, I offer to trade, if she drew me a picture, i'd sew her something. I have a lovely drawing and she received a pillow case. Another girl, I traded for a pair of beaded earrings she made, again, I sewed her a pillow case. i want to continue doing such things well into the next 50.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689206379659379100.post-4548889341934760082014-09-24T22:51:06.923-05:002014-09-24T22:51:06.923-05:00You both sound very creative to me and I also unde...You both sound very creative to me and I also understand the restlessness that can come with feeling scattered. There has been one time in my life as of the last l0 years that I haven't felt scattered and I think I will write a blog post about it!

(My apologies to say this to all of those folks who have to work and think I am crazy.) It is a struggle as to what to do with my day...not because there is not enough to do, not because I am bored... but because there is no schedule or focus or goal and I feel I am being aimless. I really like your three divisions of fun - Books, Social Network and Creativity. It is sort of an epiphany for me that I really am doing something when I think I am doing nothing. I am reading, love your book reviews and take several of my choices from your suggestions. I have hosted several dinner parties and game nights and have kept up my blogging, so another checkmark for social networking. As for creativity I have jumped around from flute playing to choral (church) singing to chorus (broadway style music) singing, to ballroom dancing, to home redecorating projects, to knitting, to quilting. Please do not construe this as bragging. These are just examples of how scattered I feel. I truly had my eyes opened by reading your point of view and ideas. The funk I am in is beginning to lift and I see potential. Thank you again. Keep posting. Your blogs resonate with me. I no longer view my hop-scotchy approach to creativity as bad and the sign of a disorganized person. Engineer by training, it was always very important to me to be logical and organized and I was so for over thirty years on the job. The quote from your later post (I read them backwards in time) about the grandfather's words are so true. Keep telling me I am not falling apart and I will start to believe it!
